This sucks. How’s he going to blast out more incriminating information?

So, too many login attempts with capslock on?
@jack is putting a stop to that for their own good.

It does raise a good question though. IIRC, the cutoff for age discrimination is 40, so a “55+ community,” of which there are easily hundreds in FL, would appear to be discriminating against 40-54 year olds.
Semi-grunch,
The real world was a stupid fucking show. I’m embarrassed that I watched more than one episode.

How have you never heard of these before?
But when you look closer at the familial status protections in the FHA, you find there are three exceptions that apply to senior living communities. These were created to allow elderly people to live peacefully and quietly in communities that attend to their unique needs. A senior living community might be lawfully exempt from the FHA’s familial status protections if:
** every occupant is 62 years of age or older
** 80% of the housing units are occupied by at least one person over the age of 55, or
** the community is part of a state or federal housing program designed to assist elderly people.

What? You’ve never heard of elderly or senior housing?
I simultaneously want to fight you and agree with you. Very conflicted.

I didn’t know you could call an entire town an old folks’ home.
I just always figured it was all old people by choice, not because younger people wanted in and weren’t allowed.
Most of these senior communities have stupidly cheap rents, it’s a hellofa scam.
Semi-grunching more, because who can keep up with this thread, but there’s an immense 55+ community in Orange County CA called leisure world. It’s not a city, but it way as well be.

Man I wish it was a Democrat Scam. That implies there is some gameplan in the party that involves doing something to accomplish something. That would be really nice.

My mom and m-in-law both live in 55+ complexes (m-in-law got remarried and mostly doesn’t actually live there) but they are purely private and market rate I believe. My grandparents lived in a senior housing building that was built with government grants and they paid 30% of their income. They had to qualify as low income to live there. I forget the exact age, but those projects required somewhere 62-65 years old.
