We have special neighborhoods that are 55+ only, it would be a huge boon if we had subsidized housing for young married couples full of other families.

- voisin 3y agoBoomers would never allow it. Discrimination they’d say. Rules for thee, not for me.
- mlrtime 3y agoThose special houses are not "subsidized". They are currated for people who don't want to live with younger folks and the "issues" that follow them. You are conflating issues, there is nothing stopping a developer from creating a "35-" development (Except a market of course).
- ajhurliman 3y agoThey may be subsidized (sort of) in that they pay lower taxes, on the theory that they’re not sending anyone to school at that age. And age discrimination in housing is actually illegal, the 55+ and 65+ situations are special exclusions.
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>there is nothing stopping a developer from creating a "35-" development (Except a market of course). I'd be down, that means young people can't actually own houses, unheard of for my generation. But yes, it's no secret older folk either have better financial safeties that degraded by millenial/Gen Y (pension, social secrutity) and generally make more money. Great market to appeal to. Meanwhile, the 23- market takes out an un-bankruptable 100k over 4 years hoping to climb through the cracks.
