As a 5th. generation local, I would much rather pass along my portion of the family farm than a wad of cash to my own children, as well as my mountain heritage which by all indicators is now on the endangered list.

I agree, I do not like what is happening and sometimes feel guilty and embarressed to tell people there I am not from there but have a vacation home there.
The only thing that makes me feel better is the fact that I am not there to "flip" my home and thus add to the problem. I am more trying to transition slowly up there and to be honest if things do not get better here I might be up there in the next year permenantly, selling my home here in Florida.
Trust me, I do not like it any more than you and wonder how my son will be able to afford a home when he is old enough to buy one. Its not an option here in Florida and quickly not becoming one where you are and watch what happens when the vultures show up. You can see them from a mile away. Mr. Hooper hit the nail on the head, they are driving the Escelades and H-2's and are as obnoxious as hell thinking they own the joint with all their "buying power".
I have had to deal with them here and glad to see they have moved on. Unfortunatly they are heading to a place I considered a haven.
BTW - My last question above was sarcastic. Like I said I just watched and shook my head as 1/4 acre lots were being "traded on the exchange" for $125K they are really worth 25K at best.
