Seniors set the trend

The baby boomer generation will only continue to have a huge role in determining land use in the country. At one end of the spectrum, seniors are flocking to urban areas, rather than gated golf communities.

At the other end of the spectrum, a new movie "This is Nowhere" tags along a (growing) group of retired seniors traveling around the U.S. in their RVs. Where are they heading for - National parks? Scenic byways? Nope, they're heading out to Wal-Mart parking lots. (Wal-Mart Promotes Parking Lot Living)

This is only the beginning. I hear that it will be 2012 before the baby boomer ignited real estate boom starts to fall off.
