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?

    You can’t discriminate against old people. You can discriminate against young people.

    Old age (40+)is the protected class, not young age.

      That is for employment/workers, not housing. Under equal opertunity employment you cannot discriminate agianst someone 40 or over.

      For fair housing, you must not discriminate, such as refuse familys with minor children, except in a number of cases,

      one being if 80% of the dwellings units must have at least one occupant who is 55 years of age or older and the community is made and operates as a 55+ place.
