For me, I like a community that is private and where people mind their own beezwax. I don't need to walk around doing finger guns and high-fiving everyone wherever I go. I like it chill and don't need a bunch of people up in my grill just we can say we have a community.
What about this...can I say I live in Canmore, but come to Calgary to work during the week? I do genuinely feel most at peace and at home in Canmore and Calgary to me now is the place I have to come to work and deal with real life. I know people who live in Calgary and Fort Mac. Week on/week off. Should I tell them they are hurting my feeling of community in Calgary? Do you think they might tell me to fk off if I did that?
Is every person who owns a vacation home acting in a morally questionable manner?
Should there be a cap on net worth for people? If not, you seem to be in favour of how people should be permitted to spend their money. That isn't problematic to you? I just don't see how that doesn't open a whole crazy can of worms.

This is sort of the thing.
As an aside, my wife and I went to visit some friends that have a trailer on a lake, and its a very, very tight-knit community.
I'll come to a BBQ every now and again, wave hello, have some drinks, but if I'm sitting on my porch listening to music or whatever that is not an invitation to come in.
I want to be left alone sometimes.
If you want to go hiking in the woods for whatever reason, do you have to take the whole neighbourhood with you?
Living in the mountains is almost by definition an attempt at solitude.
