Contradicting ones self by fussing about all the people, the boats, the boats, the boats, but yet you want to make Winni a more popular retirement spot. What about all the trash and recyclables -- there aren't sufficient resources in place to handle this yet.

The internal combustion engine dates back as far as 1680 http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aacarsgasa.htm and it's not going away anytime soon, certainly not in my life time. Today's "ready to retire" folks come from the baby boom generation http://www.aginghipsters.com/. Many of the 'boomers' are now empty nesters and can afford the time and have the money for the toys they have waited for. Do you think some of these toys may be boats, jet skis, snow mobiles, sports cars, RV's, and motorcycles......

Now there's a thought, but I would suggest farmland in the back woods country somewhere in Vermont or Connecticut -- on second thought, senior citizens in their golden years like the warmth, so how about Florida --Florida in the Winter and New England in the summer and they can ride back and forth in the comfort of their 5th wheel on 93.
