In response to the way this topic started, there are WAY too many assumptions being made here. To assume that the majority of these 10000 people are lifelong residents being "displaced" due to not being able to afford to live here anymore is very speculative. What about people who moved here from somewhere else, got homesick and moved back? What about people who maybe were born and raised here and CHOSE to move somewhere else for their own reasons. A lot of young people when they grow up want to "fly the coop" just to see what else is out there. A lot of people have never left the island or state. Just because this is paradise to a lot of us doesn't mean it is to everybody. If this is all you have known your whole life, isn't it plausable that you could yearn to see more of the world?
