I've been thinking about my demographics post. If Moscow were to grow with
baby boom retirees, folks who moved here with both cash to buy a house and a
decent retirement income, it might make Moscow very much what I (as a baby
boom caboose) would like. Especially  if they would move into a neat, dense,
mixed use neighborhood on the former railroad lines between downtown and
University.

While I would only recruit liberal retirees to join Moscow, Keely might be
concerned that they might not be eager to vote for new levies for schools.
What other costs/benefits are there to be examined?
