The present rise in housing costs notwithstanding, your assumption is erroneous.
From the very beginning of the Villages, it was marketed as a place where everyone of any income level could afford to live here and enjoy the amenities equally.
We were solidly in "lower class" but above poverty level when we moved here. We're still well under $50k/year, with pension and social security and one of us working part time.
So cut it with the "able to afford" living here horsepucky. There are plenty of us who live here BECAUSE we couldn't afford to live wherever we came from, and this was the affordable option to living in poverty.
