I get your sentiment but I can think of so many exceptions. I've seen people here in Germany splitting their time between tiny flat near workplace for <500 EUR during the week and (whatever bigger, better, often inherited) in the countryside.

Does not mean you're rich per se. Not poor, sure. Also yes, you said fly in, but there's really no difference if they fly in or go to their weekend house on Thursday or Friday by car, they're not here. I think the main point is the "is the person actually living there or visiting twice per year", because I think that is killing neighborhoods (if people talk to each other, not the case here in my building).
