Older(ish) folks are becoming more interested in exploring
and experiencing life than living comfortably situated in the
same space year after year. They're tired of lawn maintenance
and paying property taxes. Tired of neighbors they can't stand
and being tied down to a money pit rather than having flexibility
and control over their time.
People are also losing interest in traditional work spaces, or
work spaces all together. As tech advances and jobs change,
the possibility for many of working from 'home' (wherever
that might be) is more common.
And when people eliminate a large house and all of the costs
associated with one, the demand for a higher income is reduced,
making temp jobs and other forms of income (including owning
your own business) a doable option.
Retirees want to be able to travel and come and go as they
please. Millennials are bucking the expectancy of their being
the 'inactive' screen-obsessed generation by becoming more
involved, and escaping from the comfortable domesticity of
the suburbs.
The desire to flip the dynamic of comfortable, staid, restricted
living is generating entire new lifestyles, jobs, industries...
People are more and more interested in rewriting their story
rather than just accepting the norm. Revolution is afoot.
