I really hope there are more communities for the childfree. No schools, etc. needed so lower taxes.

When I informed the manager that we were leaving, she asked me, "WHyyyyyyy?" And I told her that we couldn't stand it there anymore. She told me that my husband and I were their best tenants, and our house looked like a "House Beautiful" magazine, blah blah....it didn't work.

I don't think she would have minded younger people with physical ailments, but the new tenants caused a lot of disruption, from increased noise to broken things in common areas to intimidation and physical assault. Of course when she took up a lifetime tenancy she had no idea it would change like that, and she was in no condition to move by that point. It was probably done out of a shortage of places for tards, because it's not as if there aren't waiting lists of elderly people who could have filled the building.

This smacks of elder abuse and seems like it should be illegal. Who in their right mind thinks it is acceptable to put mentally disabled people with the elderly? Would they put the mentally disabled with babies in the hospital? Hope that no one was hurt, it isn't as if the elderly can defend themselves as easily as able bodied of a younger age can. Many probably have some physical limitations or might be frail.

It was a case that a few people had been pushed (I don't know if it was temper or just pushing past people moving slowly), and the elderly had retreated from using the common areas because they didn't feel comfortable in them anymore. My grandmother was already in the situation where she didn't feel fit enough to leave the apartment without someone accompanying her, so it was mostly the noise that affected her. I don't think she was afraid personally but she was upset by how the tone of the building had changed.
