If you’re the type that never left the farm, then I’m guessing the RGV would seem exotic at an affordable price. Maybe that is the demographic for the area, and should be courted.
Mr. Negative, do you have any positive recommendations for retiree destinations, or just want to knock other's choices? Maybe others disagree with your favorite???
I have been off the farm a long time and found Florida to be money grubbing and unpleasant to Snowbirds who don't pay in hundred dollar bills. Arizona gave the impression that they want a wall to keep both Mexicans and Midwesterners out.
Many or us have been to "exotic" places but prefer Mayberry. I understand that might not be you, but I don't slam your choice.
