Ruined Local Hill

Imagine spending your life saving & imagining moving somewhere (maybe buying land, building a house, etc.), then the ski area that your dream is based around changes in some wild way.
That is the risk people take when they tie themselves to one particular area. I cannot imagine this scenario because I would never tie myself to a specific mountain and move there.

There is more to life than skiing (unless almost all of your social network is at one mountain). Where we choose to live should involve more decision points than proximately to a single mountain and imaging that it might never change.

Life moves on. We can all dream of certain futures, but then we need to adapt. The future is never going to be exactly how we dreamed it to be. Perhaps we will change. Perhaps the world will change around us. Either way, adapt and move on.
 
It's also a risk where you live now.

We lived in our small house for 30 years and loved it until two chain smokers moved in next door. The lots were very small, and we could never be outside without smelling cigarettes. My daughter has been so brainwashed (a good thing?) about smoking in school she refused to go outside. We finally moved.
 
I chose to settle down and buy property in Hunter because I wanted to live outside of NYC in the country with people I know.
I'm tied to it because it's close to NYC and I've made friends with people from here.
We maintain an apartment in Brooklyn NY and enjoy being able to be in NYC and in the Catskills.

If my partner and I didn't have older parents we need to attend to - who knows where we'd end up. We do talk about living on a lake in the ADKs.
