Exactly the point. My sister bought a very nice home in the historic section and has only social security and a very small medicaid subsistance. And she is happy as can be.

It is truly one of the benefits of TV...it matters little whether your home is $700,000 or $75,000 the residents are entitled to all of the same amenities.
