If anyone expects things to never change, they are delusional.
EXAMPLE. I grew up in a small california county, were everyone knew the children, prices were reasonable, schools exceptional, and traffic was minimal. As a 10 year old I could ride the two miles into town, and spend the day without worry.
Today that county generates $2 Billion a year in tourism revenues. 3,500,000 people a year. It takes more than 1 1/2 hour to drive the 25 miles down the main road from one end of the county to the other. Land went from $1,000 an acre to $1,000,000
