But now, they're almost 100% self-sufficient and pay almost nothing to live in their village. They even have physicians who live there who can provide basic medical care, and midwives who can assist with births. They use solar and wind energy, and their toilet waste is composted and used to fertilize the gardens.

But do they have a whole bunch of golf courses, swimming pools, pickle-ball courts, town squares with nightly entertainment, all golf cart accessible? The part about having physicians who can provide basic medical care sounds good.
