[quote=Anonymous]Urban planner here again. I think I shoudl probably make this a spin off topci at this point.  But DC actually has an entire "age friendly" DC initiative part of an international initiative to make cities more senior friendly. On a personal level, my family is working to get my FIL to sell his lovely suburban ranch style retirement home out west and buy a one bedroom condo in DC proper.  We are looking at condos in Tunlaw and cleveland park in the range of 275k-300k.  FIL is still generally independant. Gave up night driving, almost 80 years old. Has a lot more drs apts. etc.   Living close to us would mean 1) he could actually walk to stuff 2) some of these buildings have stores/barbershops on ground floor so easy for him 3) I could get him an uber through my account in a pinch  4) a lot of these older condos are already "norcs" Naturally Occuring Retirement Communities-so he would have like minded neighbors and 5) a doorman may be all the day to day help he needs and 6) he doesn't want to live in a leisure world "with a bunch of old people.  City living, and I mean city proper is actually great for an aging population. I am sorry the conversation has become so one sided about "Aging place" when that is actually NOT the ideal. Again, all of the folks I meet workng on this isse are not old, and seem really nutty to begin with.   Its really not about taxes folks.  Change your way of thinking. [/quote]
