Most of the people here in Jacksonville, FL, whom we have talked to, are shocked not only over our move away from here and Florida, but also where we may move to. Of course, many people, in every state/city, that love where they are living and can really wonder "why?" anyone would want to leave. Jacksonville and Florida people are exactly like that.
People here get shocked when told that we are seriously considering moving back to Colorado or possibly into southeastern Wyoming. We moved from So. Calif., where we met and married, to 28 miles south of Denver where we lived for 5 1/2 years. Neither of us were born/raised in So Calif.. I'm an ex-farm-boy from northeastern Indiana and she was born/raised in southeastern Michigan. I wound up in Calif. due to the Navy and stayed and she followed her family there. So, we both know what "Old Man Winter" is like.
Sort of weird, but many folks here don't even know where Colorado or Wyoming is. Most people from those areas don't move here.
Our lifestyle was so much better in Colorado and boating is much, much easier there. Freshwater lakes are much better on power boats than saltwater.
So, what would you think if folks where you live were completely shocked that you wanted to move from their idea of "Utopia"?
