Many of the younger folks will leave before retiring here.

This is something I'm very curious about. On the surface your community seems idyllic for many people. Why is it these communities are so tiny and rare? Why do so few move to them and even fewer end up staying for good? You must have seen a few people leave by now, and may have flirted with the idea yourself, so I'd find your thoughts quite interesting, thanks.

Can you tell us more about what you mean by social structure? Are you referring to community governance (which I thought was meant to be a pretty flat structure) or do you mean people's relationships with one another, or an unofficial hierarchy?
