Most locals don’t volunteer either. Second homeowners do shop in your stores and eat out when they are in town. Not sure that I agree that they don’t care about the neighbors either. I am a Vermonter, not rich but have done well enough to buy a second in NC.

I don’t think that’s true. I run a small non-profit and we have hundreds of volunteers! Also the folks I see that don’t seem to care much for neighbors are the Air B and B users, so also the owners by extension. I know plenty of second homeowners that really do care for the neighbors and community, but if you don’t live here you’re not really invested in making sure the schools are good and the children are fed.

I shouldn’t generalize too much and I know that I have here. Y’know, it’s Reddit.
