Sort of the same principle as the New York exec who buys a first class
home on a private canal in Boca Raton Florida for less than what a
Manhattan suite would cost.....

But not too many people actually working in Florida could afford
them.....

We get a lot of that up here. Germans, Americans and Upper Canadians are
buying up a large chunk of the shoreline here at prices the locals can't
afford. Some people are afraid we'll resemble the Maine coastline in a few
years....large tracts of land owned by absentee owners who won't let locals
use traditional paths & beaches on the property.
