So did another president; just can't remember which one.
Most states do something for their seniors to prevent them from having to move away from family. This is happening all the time now. I'm in a union, too, and as our members retire, they move elsewhere because the tax burden is so high.
One teacher, who lived in Westfield, sold her ordinary middle-class home for a million and moved to Virginia. That's the exception, though. I haven't heard of many stories like that.
