I think it'd be great to have a family-oriented townhouse/condo complex immediately outside the Villages, where families can either rent (long-term, 1 year minimum) or buy, or a cooperative (not the best option but some like them). Most people who WOULD move to them, are people who have at least one household member working for, or in, the Villages. Low level management, teachers, etc.
Generally speaking, people don't move out of town or out of state just so they can be close to their part-time job. So even "affordable" housing wouldn't convince burger flippers or waitresses to move here. People will move here hoping to find full time work and might settle for part time until something better comes up, but that's what we're already dealing with now.
