Definitions of home are evolving
While some people may hold an opinion they live in they live in the Big Apple is the proverbial central point of the universe, because of our increasingly globalized and digital lives increasing numbers of people are realizing that they are able to live wherever and still enjoy the life they want to live.
The Dr. Wendy Parson, a sociologist at Varsity Tutors, points to increasing opportunities to work remotely , as well as the desires to live smaller and more sustainable lifestyles as evident by the increasing popularity of tiny houses and the trend of slicing down our belongings. Together, these elements are driving people to travel to areas away from major cities.
“Today’s young adults are looking for experience over stability” the author explains. “The capability to remain connected through the internet is much more convenient to access, which means distance is not as important.”
Although the report revealed it was Gen Z (or people ages 18-24) were the most active in a year, with 58 percent those who moved at least once per year for the last five years, everyone of all ages are exploring the idea of a more sporadic life.
“The idea of a stable “family homestead” where everyone’s mail went when they traveled around the globe has ended, as many older people are shifting to smaller homes and living in smaller, less expensive and more arid regions,” Parson explains. “Now people who have left earlier to explore the world aren’t only leaving home to join an extended family following marriage, but to remain in one place for a long length of time.”
It’s not too bad, and it’s not so
Scottsdale, Durham, and Sarasota are great places for sun-lovers. With average temperatures that range from 66 to 101°F in Scottsdale It’s a great location for those looking to end the cold winters behind them. It’s not surprising that Scottsdale is a top tourist destination for golfers.
The desire to live in a warmer environment is also evident in the study’s findings that more Americans relocated into Florida over any other place in the past year.
Parson is a part of the reason for the popularity of these states due to the desire of many people to follow in the footsteps of their “snowbird” grandparents who moved to these states upon retirement.
“People are getting older, and their energy and independence are only beginning when they reach the age of retirement,” Parson says. “Coupled with the burden of their parents who drive around and playing tennis until they reach their 70s, it’s logical to live close to them in a more pleasant and more affordable location that where they can enjoy themselves and reach them in the event of a need.”
