Retirees, for one. Many retirement communities are structured in a way to allow that. It's appealing to that segment because walking (or using public transit) takes forever as you age, but driving kind of loses its appeal as one gets older.
I'm not sure what the appeal is supposed to be for young people, but then, I know zero young people who could afford one of these units.
- ambicapter 10y agoSo on the one hand they talk about a growing, thriving, city, and on the other, they're talking about retirees shutting themselves up in their apartments? I would think a retiree would prefer the calm and silence of being nowhere near a city.
- ghaff 10y agoDepends. Some certainly prefer to retire far from the crowds if they can. Others prefer not to be dependent on cars and to be near good culture, hospitals, and doctors. I wouldn't read too much into that everything available without leaving the building quote in any case.
