A younger demographic is sorely needed here.
The developer seems to embrace this reality in new build offerings with stucco kissing lanais at about 225-35 a square and stick vinyl at about 205. This is a nice drop. Many villas are under 300. You can see all this on Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale thevillages.com new homes section.

I’ve not read this entire thread but when you mention service jobs and a younger generation needed to fill those positions....that is exactly the issue across the nation. People don’t want to work....younger people as well. The demand that new construction will put on those high demand areas you noted will be dramatically insufficient to meet.
