Would you feel differently if you had the lake in the summer and Florida in the winter?
Would you feel differently if you had a one floor house in Florida and there wasn't an elevator involved?
Would you feel differently if you were not in a building with "56 condos all squeezed together" and had some space?
Just saying: Your view and experience of Florida, and the lifestyle, is not what everyone experiences. What if you could spend 6 to 8 months in Florida, miss the humidity, didn't have an elevator, had your own home and pool, and summered on Winnipesaukee? Would that make it a totally different experience for you?
I realize that it is not something that everyone wants, or can afford, but the negatives you cite may not be what everyone who enjoys both Florida and Winnipesaukee experiences.
