I knew the rumors about The Villages, but Celebration gets down like that?

I get key party vibes from that dude playing the guitar with his Journey tribute band in his garage.

The documentary the bubble had some rumors. We go to celebration every so often. There are some couples that hang out at celebration town tavern that make me wonder...

Agreed. The “it’s too rough to have a kid right now” excuse is such a cop out. Watch how Europe and China collapse over the next 10 years as they forgot how to have kids and the other was legally barred from reproducing at a sustainable rate. High earning middle age workers retire with no one to replace them. They go from paying lots of taxes and investing to drawing from the system very quickly. Skyrocketing dependency ratios, rising interest rates, plateaued productivity if lucky (and that’s the tip of the iceberg).

I share many of your general concerns. I don't want to be too presumptive as to the place where the poster was coming from, so not sure if s/he's a "don't bring kids into this evil world" type, or a Malthusian, humans are destroying the planet by existing type

Either way, less humans is a bad thing.

Is it really worse than more humans? I see the issue with an ageing population, but in general there surely has to be some point at which the earth's population stops growing.
Either way, hope your kids are doing well.

It is absolutely worse unless you’re a fan of mass starvation and total societal collapse. And thank you! Likewise
This is relevant.
The Future of the City Is Childless
America’s urban rebirth is missing something key—actual births.www.theatlantic.com
TL;DR - Children, families, and family formation are foundational to community-building. When cities (or planned cult communities) are childless, they result in social atomization and lifelessness.
I don't know, I wouldn't mind living in a city with no children.
(yes, I realize the irony that we like to visit WDW, a place teeming with children. They are fine in small doses
)

How many threads are you going to bring this up in?

You know what's funny?
Not being able to attract families with kids in business and cultural epicenters of countries is a long term problem. You’re losing a huge demographic. Is that sustainable?

Not really. The population growth economy is a Ponzi scheme.
The World Economy Is A Pyramid Scheme, Steven Chu Says
The world economy is based on ever-increasing population growth, said Nobel laureate Steven Chu, a scheme that economists don't talk about and that governments won't face, a scheme that makes sustainability impossible and that is likely to eventually fail.

Just slap a label on it and call it Disney.
I'd be looking for the Hidden Mickeys.
