I take offense at this sentence. The author is criticizing co-living arrangements as if they were only for the young and poor, or the elderly who can't take care of themselves.
I think human connection is the key to happiness, and I hate the idea that a responsible adult must live alone, or only with their SO and family. I think living in a community can make life so much better. Whether that's a dorm at college, a retirement home, a coliving space in an expensive city, or an eco-friendly housing project where families live together and share common areas. They're all great. Don't bring in this ridiculous stigma against a new idea, when people living in the suburbs don't even know their own neighbors.
