To slide further off topic - my parents moved to one of those retirement communities outside Phoenix several years ago. Gated communities are springing up everywhere as people cash in on the inflated value of their homes elsewhere. Then the old people vote against every local school budget because they feel no connection to any of the area's children. Some have even seceded from local school districts. The elderly spend their time playing golf on grass growing in a desert and driving into stores and each other's cars. Maybe my mother-in-law had the right idea; she moved to the northern border of Vermont. She'll shiver every time those synopics send massive cold pooling her way, whatever that means, but at least she's pretty well protected from other old people.
