[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 36 and childfree and I would LOVE to live in a 55+ community.  What a wonderful way to be in a peaceful, quiet place with people with common interests.[/quote]

Someone should make a community for singles and DINKs, say ages 35 to 55. I bet there would be huge uptake. [/quote]

When we first moved into our neighborhood in Bethesda (when our kids were little), we wished so much that there were fewer elderly people in the neighborhood.  It seemed like there were few young kids.  And the younger people needed the close-in housing to get to their jobs, whereas it seemed like the elderly people could live anywhere and did not need to be within an easy commute of the downtown area of a major city.

Now, 20 years later, the elderly people have moved out, and the neighborhood has flipped, and we feel kind of like the older ones (in our mid-50's).

Pre-pandemic, when many people still commuted downtown, it did make sense to me that retired people should sell their homes and let the next generation have an easy commute.  (I realize this sounds harsh toward elderly people, but it makes sense to me.  Each generation does a favor to the next generation.)[/quote]
