How do you figure this? These people won't want to buy fresh baked goods from there area, coffee at Balzack's, furniture from one of the many stores there, or artwork for their walls? You don't think the people buying units here are doing so to enjoy the charm of the Distillery? In mid winter these people are going to be the bread and butter for the area when all the tourists go home. When was the last time you spent an afternoon mid winter down there? I worked in a studio in the Distillery for an entire winter and I can tell you it was a ghost town where all the shops and Galleries are. Right now it's almost like a cottage town, busy through the tourists season, on long weekends in the fall and around Christmas time but void of life until spring hits.
If you really think these people won't support their local businesses you must know something about the demographics of the buyers I don't. Are they all 905'er big box shopping Costco clothe wearing SUV drivers?
