Also, the demographic bubble of Baby Boomers will shift and there won’t be enough people to fill the houses. In 20 years or so there won’t be enough 55+ people to fill the vacancies.
Thanks for addressing my question. Your answers make a lot of sense.

Of course, most people do not want any tax increases that do not serve them.

The Villages is planning to develop the Rick Scott Industrial Area and a new medical center just south of Monarch Grove, so maybe our supreme leaders are trying to plan for the era when there are not enough 55+ people to keep our community growing.

Anyway, I liked the book Leisureville, I liked hearing Blechman talk, and we love living in The Villages.
