I'm not talking about people moving to the Villages. This thread has *nothing* to do with people moving to the Villages.
It has to do with people living in the counties, towns, neighborhoods that surround the Villages. It has to do with the EMPLOYEES of all those stores, shops, services, food products, that you buy from, or consume.
I'm talking about the "support workers," not the CEOs or lawyers. I'm talking about the part-time receptionist at the local car dealership. Or the cashier at the supermarket. The oil-change employee at the gas station. The people who wash your car at the car-wash. Most of those people aren't Villagers. They are locals who live in the area.
If you need more of those people to support the population in the Villages - if you need more locals - NON-Villagers - to do the jobs you need done, because there are more Villagers that need things done - where will those non-villagers come from, if the jobs available are low-earning jobs?
