I expect the cost of property, and the cost of paying the various carrying costs of residing in TV will keep this from being a widespread phenomenon. Yes, there will be "young" people living here, either with their parents (in which case not likely to be "kids") or their grandparents, but I can't see it making much of a difference in the lifestyle experience .
Most young families, with young children are not going to want to live on a street surrounded by old people with no kids for their kids to hang out with, and no similarly aged parents to socialize with.
Someone told me there is a residential development near the charter school specifically built by the developer to provide housing for families of teachers and health professionals, and essentially, other working people who provide services for TV community. I can't remember the name of it. Such a place would make far more sense for a young family than on my street of ancients.
