They moved here because of what a terrific job the owners did, the great lifestyle - and now they don't want anyone else "joining the club". They complain incredibly during the winter months because of the snowbirds - but those same snowbirds are a huge boon, economically, to the area. Change is inevitable. This new area may appeal to a "different generation" of retirees - people retiring now were born in 1961-61, not 1931. I read yesterday where only ~700,000 WWII vets were left (God bless 'em) and 430 per day pass on. There is a "new wave" of retirees coming, and guess what? They like "different things". Sure, I know there's a fear of home prices sliding, developer leaving, crazy people taking over - but progress & change happens, so adapting is necessary. Times change - imagine that!

Thank you. Good points.
