Not all houses have a bond, I didn’t say plan on just SS, but some live on SS and invest their other income. 2007 was the first time we came to TV. Very well versed in all things to run a household including, 4 types of homes in TV, and the exact budget for each
If one needs to be concerned about amenities rising, I don’t think that is the only problem, one should be concerned about. Amenity is not the only cost that has risen since 2007 in TV.

Exactly, if one has to worry about living on SS and amenities rising, the bond on the tax bill rising, price of groceries which appear to be higher and I'm not talking about the house bond, and every other expense, The Villages isn't for them. Why live here with such limited income when they can choose another location which makes their retirement so much more enjoyable.
I get that you are well-heeled and planned well with a good income but picture living here with only $25,000-$35,000 before taxes in your pocket a year with no additional assets other than able to purchase a low end home here and a vehicle. It's pretty skimpy living and the cost of living in The Villages is not cheap as some would have you believe.
