Why are people so critical of the Developer? Real Estate has always been market driven and price increases are not gouging! Every builder in America sells inventory at market price, which is what purchasers are willing to pay.

Gouging implies taking unfair advantage of someone. There are many other retirement communities around that offer lower prices! There is no gun to anyone's head.
