        • What impact does it have on your life to be surrounded by Republicans? Political views are things to talk and discuss and not really manifested in the physical world.

          • Huh? People like to be around people who share like views & experiences, be it political leanings, religion, or economic status. While I am an architect, I think that is more important in finding a community than what it is like physically.

            • I guess I would never make my political affiliation a life style that is obvious to everybody around me. I wouldn't give a toot if somebody is Democrat or Republican. There are more important things that I care about.

              • I don't think pol'l affiliation needs to be obvious to be important. I abhor talking everyday politics myself, but I do strongly believe in certain issues: pro-Choice, against Iraq war, promotion of public transportation, nationalized healthcare.

                  • No, it is a given. Don't need to discuss. That is the whole point.

                  • Actually, I do discuss this with neighbors, because my neighbors are well-educated leaders in their fields & the community. What do you discuss with your neighbors? Hey, when you retire your neighbors become a lot more important.

              • Hah, I have lived in Texas & believe me, it matters. i will never again live anywhere people just matter-of-factly believe of course the gov is right when they sentence someone to the death penalty (bec mistakes are never made), that no-one in any situation should be allowed an abortion and everyplace, even a church is suitable to carry a concealed (loaded) semi-automatic.

                • But that has nothing really to do with being a Republican. Those are values that many (not all) Reps have nowadays but it doesn't really have anything to do with the original ideals of the Republican party.

    • Is this a joke? If not, most NY Democrat Jews are now settling in Boynton Beach/Delray/West Palmish areas.

      • OP: I know. I should have said not there. Looking for something more low key & less sprawl. I am not Jewish, but that isn't really any issue. I am from New England, don't golf, but sail & swim a lot.

          • sarasota is nice and has good history. i also think naples (west coast) may be a good choice or the Vero Beach/Cocoa Beach/Melbourne (east coast) area. my parents used to live there (latter) and it was beautiful.
