Not going to happen:
1) Nobody can snow-bird. (If you leave your house unattended, it gets gutted).
2) Health care sucks.
3) Too far away from grandchildren.
4) Adult children still in basement, no basements in Puna.
5) General Excise Tax. Old people still count out pennies at the cash register, actually realize how much stuff costs.
6) Better alternatives that cross the above off their list (Florida, Arizona, etc).
7) Retirement communities are businesses. Hawaii, COH anti-business.
8) All the current old people will be dead before permitting for #7 happens.
ETA: 7 and 8
