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?

    This makes sense. If funds are allocated to housing the elderly, you could lose your funding if you just let anyone in.

      Federal assistance makes sense. The communities in referring to definitely don’t need assistance

        Have you seen the books?

        I know someone in a place like this, and to move there they essentially sell any property they have to buy their space in the facility.

        It’s not cheap, but these places also provide on-site medical facilities with trained staff so someone 65 having a stroke has a decent chance of being OK.
