As I travel I notice homogeneity, diversity and blends. Many planned communities are so planned that it is nearly impossible to find your way home - but then again - if penguin moms can find their chicks in the rookery..... Other communities mix double-wides, high-ceiling high cost homes and hovels within fifty yards of one another. Often these are communities "in transition" where wealth sadly trumps traditional ownership every time. There are many beautiful areas where big dollars have created an economy where people who have lived there for generations no longer can afford to do so.
On the other hand, the mix of rural and urban is a delight on Vashon - it blends beautifully with the landscape. There is caveat - them that got there first, got there first.
And hey - turkeys next door can be fun.
