Far from a roofing expert but where we used to live some people with homes built in the 1920's had slate roofs. Reminder 1920's so they were 100 years old. If, they leaked finding someone who could PROPERLY repair it was a nightmare. Faced with a leak people would take off the roof and install tar shingles.
To support slate or tiles, the roof needs to be strong enough to hold that weight. I doubt it is an option for a Villages Home.
We tend to forget INFLATION. Fifty thousand 20 years ago is roughly a hundred thousand today.
