The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Alligator Creek changes the housing and lifestyle preference. It is more a matter of what can be afforded rather than what would we prefer, leading to slower price increases over time. High density population in Alligator Creek requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand.
