Its a Tourist Town
the city provides for all ages- housing, food resources ,medical needs, work, and transportation .
A lot of retired people
The issue I am most aware of is that of transportation. Reno does not have good transportation for elderly, indigent, or mentally disabled. I am aware of a non-profit that is working to remedy this situation, Neighbor Network of Northern Nevada.
It's just the area where I live I see more elderly people then young and it's just a blessing to just still have them around to where as we can still gain wisdom from them.
