    We need to normalize retirement communities.

    The last thing I want to fuck with in old age is maintaining a house. We need “condo subdivisions” close to supermarkets and other amenities.

    I have no idea why a 70 year old wants to deal with home ownership

      I work in hospice and regularly visit independent and assisted living facilities. Some are set up like duplexes, some are condo/apartment style. The costs of these facilities can be insane. One of the cheaper independent facilities I was seeing a patient in was charging just over $6000 month for a one room studio. Yes, utilities were included with basic basic cable channels.
