I’ve seen neighborhoods that advertise as “active adult living” and are 55+ only. Given that age is a protected class, how can that do that? How is that not the same as an “active white living” community that bans other races?

    Would you want to live in a neighborhood filled with people who have nothing better to do than look at what everybody else is doing and judge or complain?

    Society often self-corrects imaginary problems and is usually done with exceptions to the rules.

      No but I want to live in a neighborhood where the houses are actually fucking affordable.

      It’s so goddamn disgusting to see a house around or even under 200k and then see “55+ community only” every other house is 250k+

      Why the fuck do they get to have cheap housing when the argument is always “younger people just haven’t increased their value yet but as they get older they’ll have money too.” (The implication being “don’t worry about poor young people”)

      So they get to have their increased wealth and decreased housing cost?

        These communities have bad resale values that’s why they are cheaper.

        Generally each gereatric clown wants brand new house to so they don’t buy then from each other but keep buying them in new communities.
