I don’t get it either. Rules, law, etc. aside, what is the attraction for those under 55, especially those still in their teens and early twenties? Are they avid golfers and they are satisfied with just that? Do they really enjoy getting down with the geriatric crowd at the squares at night? My grandkids are 16-22 and they love to visit but get bored here really quickly and then they want to go to parks and malls in Orlando. I think sometimes we should have bought closer to Orlando since eveyone who visits us wants to spend more time there than here.

At any rate, I understand those under 55 that work here are allowed to buy and live here and even have specific communities for them, that’s great and it benefits us. I also understand other under 55 situations like the retired military couple in their 40s that we know got an exemption (probably in that 20% allowd), but even they get a little bored and have difficulty feeling like they fit in. But youngsters in their late teens and early twenties here permanently, not working, not in school? Makes no sense to me.
