As long as the Villages adapts (and the last generation seems to not like all the adaptation being made) - but they are for the next gen, not the last gen

This isn’t a coal mining town, the economy of the villages is based on not producing anything’s, except an active retirement - apples and oranges.
You are spot on Boomers and the silent generation could pass on a huge amount of wealth to the Millennials generation.
