They do not care much about updating or even supporting them or the clubhouses and recreations centers. Things tend to go downhill.

If younger folks buy into these communities they want to update the facilities which costs money. The young-old become pitted against the old-old who do not want to spend the money to update or even have their property taxes increase because their homes become more valuable as a result of community improvements.
Can you name a few where that happened.? Sounds plausible but Perhaps too plausible.
