Necessity certainly is a life changer. As Village Golfer said, he knows former co-workers who moved to Alaska or Australia for good paying jobs. My father-in-law would travel around Iowa (where he lived with his family) to get brick laying jobs and be away from home a few weeks at a time. People will travel to get jobs and will live in less than desirable situations when they need to do so to work.

However, when a huge project like The Villages continues to build, you have to have the workers. There would NOT be the number of "hammer swingers" who would work. There would be SOME but not enough to complete the work in a time manner that is currently being done. Your home values would go down.

We need these workers. I say that with no doubts whatsoever. They are NOT taking jobs from citizens.
