Could this be the harbinger of a new growth industry here? From DetNews.com: Elderly retirees flee the South quote:Perhaps the brass ring seems tarnished when contrasted against family ties. | ||

Yeah, I do remember a few years ago when Livonia was determined to be one of the best for retirees to live in... | ||

Yeah, well, maybe Michigan could benefit from inviting even more retirees back home to their roots. Retirees don't need the jobs that have been/are being lost here. They have pension dollars to spend. Welcoming them home can't hurt and could help! Every bit counts.  | ||

My parents retired in 1985 and moved away from Michigan. For twenty years they split their time between places in NC and FL. In 2005 they sold their FL property and now spend all year at their place in western NC. Since 1985, their area of NC has doubled its population, many of the new arrivals being those "half-backs" mentioned in the article. | ||

Retirees moving away (to sunny climates) from their children and grandchildren seems to be an American phenomenom (and maybe Canadian too). In Europe such things are just not done! |
