If I read it correctly, the article said by annual lease. If so, that won't work for snowbirds.

I'm sure they have already researched a need/desire for this. I have personally heard interest from several villagers for the option to have apartment style living and it's not because they can't afford to own beautiful homes. The reasons I have heard for this are basically easier, less stressful living - less upkeep, no maintenance responsibility, etc. Others may choose it for easier monthly budgeting of expenses and/or increased security.

It's also becoming more popular up north - 55+ apartment living with all the amenities. The communities near where I currently live are gorgeous. They are not your typical apartment building. Hopefully, and what I would expect, is that TV will follow suit.
