Yeah, but then you’d have to live in the rural midwest US rather than a beach city. The rural life just isn’t for some people. Also, old people like to retire to warmer places so they don’t feel cold all the time.

They also want to be able to afford housekeepers, gardeners, and cooks at a rate so low they can afford to have all three and still come out cheaper than having one of those in the US.
"afford" is just a way to rephrase "exploit" - due to the fundamentally unfair wealth distribution
you can "afford" a gardener as a retired middle manager only because a lot of poeple in that society are being enslaved
What a great idea! Let's retire there and have slaves!
