I didn't understand this question
The housing is extremely affordable. We have 2 colleges. My 2 daughters as they were growing up went to excellent schools at the time they were ranked 4th in the nation. They're is old established businesses here that prosper. Because big businesses is here I was able to make an excellent Sales career in Telecommunications for 30 years until the Pandemic.
some are cool and some need a lot of mental help
I live in a 55 plus community. It is a very friendly and inviting community. We have a civic center, a large pool, table tennis and rooms for many activities. Also, there is a town hall where we have get togethers and church on Sundays.
