Island dwellers always seem to be home, but I suspect that to own one you have a sincere love for the lake, otherwise you wouldn't put up with the hassle of having one in the first place.

Of course you are wrong. Islanders and mainlanders are not better or worse than one another. And all or even most islanders or all of even most mainlanders are not the same. Personally I am tired of hearing people automatically criticize these so called McMansions. I see few huge homes and have a simple home myself but it is not on an island. I would think that our economy rises when people hire builders and landscapers and all of the tradespeople to build large homes. I am really wishing that I had been offered a tour or an island as they sound exciting though I am not organized enough to live on one. I also like to be able to do things impulsively. But that does not mean that I do not appreciate those that are organized enough to live on an island. See what I mean?
