Your second point is correct but you fail to mention that other people will be turning age 55, retiring and looking for places to live.
The only limit on how many homes can be built here is how many people want to live here.

Thank you.
There were 76 million people born between the years 1946 and 1964, the traditional window for the baby boom generation. That means that they will retire over a 19-year period. Simple math shows that 76 divided by 19 is 4 million, or almost 11,000 people a day.
While a certain percentage will die before they reach retirement age, analysts say that immigrants will actually boost the number of potential baby-boomer retirees to nearly 80 million —and not everyone retires exactly at 65 or 66. Some baby boomers likely retired at 62. So let’s say it’s 80 million over 20 years—which still yields 4 million a year.
And with no state income tax here, plus far lower costs of homeowner, hurricane and flood insurance as compared to other parts of FL, people are still going to flock to FL from the frozen, high property tax states such as VT, NH, WI, MI, CT, NJ, MA, IL, etc., and to TV in particular.
