Been looking at other housing options for the past year and something that I found that really started to bother me was the prevalence of affordable communities that are 55+ only. How is it that in a world where people have to work 60-70 hour weeks across multiple jobs just to meet basic needs that retirees get their own personal communities that defy the market trends with homes for as little as $70k? If I wanted to buy a place for that (which is about the upper limit of what I can afford working 60-70 hr weeks) it would be in a crime ridden squalid neighborhood and probably infested with cockroaches. Yet they get to sit in gated golf communities with a pool and a clubhouse for that. I’m not asking for a mansion, I just want somewhere safe that isn’t a biohazard to raise my daughter.
