And it all comes crashing down, if word ever gets out that the "lifestyle" is just a marketing scam. Because otherwise, there is no good reason to retire to the middle of Nowhere, Florida, two hours from the nearest city, and 12 hours from your kids.
Only HALF of the baby boomers have retired. There is still millions of acres of empty farmland between "Nowhere" and Orlando or Tampa -- and 35 million Boomers left to sell it to.
For their sake and ours, I sure hope the developer's kids are bright enough to realize that a vibrant 30-year-old Spanish Springs is proof that the lifestyle isn't a scam.
