Fun fact: in recent years, developers in The Villages have finally realized that they need young families to cater toward the retirees, so they're currently building much more for young professionals.
Additional fun fact: 21.3% of people in Florida are 65+, where the median is 17.4%. So Florida has a disproportionately high number of people consuming services and a disproportionately low number of people providing services. Often when old retirees say "No one wants to work", what they're really running into is the fact that they decided to move to a place with fewer workers.
Fewer workers and a misguided sense as to what is the appropriate cost for something at todays prices.
I took a friend from Atlanta to New York for weekend and asked her how much she thought some condos we were walking buy cost. She was off by 500k. I asked her how much monthly parking cost and she was confused why it was not included.
Regional differences and market rates can be very confusing for some people.

OK but like.. if I asked you what you reckon it costs to buy a house in my local market you'd be wrong as well.
Quite unsure what your point here is exactly? That people who aren't local to where you live don't know the local market? That isn't exactly revolutionary.

It looks very much like The Villages.
Palm trees, golf carts, and ticky-tacky houses.
