I couldn't agree with his review more. In fact, I could have written it myself. Was born in Traverse City, family moved away for military service, came back here in fourth grade, it was a wonderful place, late 70s. Left again when family moved downstate and finished growing up there. 17 years ago I moved back to TC, thinking it would be "home" again, having so many wonderful memories from childhood. Moved back in 2001 and it wasn't too bad. But in the past decade it has really changed. Retirees from downstate are moving up here in droves and acting like it's always been their town. They drive like they're the only ones on the road or as if they own the damn road. People constantly pull out in front of you on main thoroughfares, drive drunk, and act like there's no tomorrow. Every time I have to go out I have an average of two near-hits with some idiot who doesn't car about anyone else on the road. People move here and have no idea how use their headlights when the weather is less than par, and even during whiteout conditions. A lot of people who have moved here not friendly, which has really changed the town I used to know where people knew each other more. It's overcrowded, the traffic is congested and non-stop day and night, commutes are horrible. The housing and rent costs have gone through the roof. Tourists come here and are some of the rudest people. I'm looking to get out of here.
