Some of the people can be mean.
I'm a very friendly person and every time I see my neighbor or etc and I good morning or just a simple hello I don't get a reply back or I get looked at as I'm stupid or etc .
Care, environment, transportation
Accessibility to shopping and medical care. Transportation on every corner. Community engagement activities.
They are accepted of any age.
There's a lot of places for everyone if all ages very diverse
My family moved from Haiti to Boston because they thought it was easier to age in the city. Access to health care certainly
is easier and walking is healthier than using a car. I've lived in Boston all my life for 24 years I love Boston and I have seen many changes. Older Bostonians are the fastest growing segment of Boston's population, and we have a duty to focus on making our City as friendly and inclusive to our residents as they age. Together with the community, we've identified important growth opportunities and will provide real, impactful solutions to those who live here. I have tried thinking about moving to another state or somewhere outside of Boston, but I changed my mind because I'm so used to this and everything here. Yes, change is always good but sometimes it's best to save the best for last. Over we take care of everyone and not just ourselves.
In my neighborhood we have very nice people generally who love to help older people I specifically remember during the pandemic customer is coming into my job and grocery shopping for their elder neighbors because they weren't be able to
I I live down the street from BU and I live in an area filled with students and people my age.
