I will try to be brief here...Vielen Dank (Thanks) for the reply Jo!

What I have seen happen/am seeing happen - is that these somewhat arms
length families are so attracted to "their" experience they become
vested as full time residents OR they bring more people with them.
Example, my father is from Las Vegas (business man) he now owns a home
here...there is a HUGE growing community of Las Vegans in this town
now, high profile people from "Vegas" his peers call PC a "little
Vegas" - this sub sect of our community is used to - in their home
town calling the shots...big tides can shift with these influxes...new
character/influences/impact they begin
working/investing and participating in the political process. The
community evolves as a result - arms length slowly becomes a vocal new
"local".
