I would guess it will be about the same. At the rate that people move in, they age and grow old and die. As they age they are not as interactive in the community and do not take up as many spaces at events. And there is a lot of been there, done that even with the young vibrant crowd. The high season is the time when these questions arise and people are annoyed because we have visitors who don't own here and don't intend to own here and do not treasure this space the way we Villagers do.
The fast growth of population here is unprecedented. The restaurants and business venues will come, just as they did in the past. The bulk of the growth here has been in the past fifteen years.
I think we are all sitting on a gold mine if we own property. But I could be wrong, but it won't matter to most of us in twenty years. At all.
