NO, not in terms of working. People over the age of sixty are discriminated against, not so much as they do not get job interviews, but in that once they have a job interview, they are crossed off the list to make it seem as if they have not been discriminated against. If someone over the age of sixty is not seeking employment or is living on a good retirement income, then by all means, Silver Spring/Washington, D.C. is great for livability, transportation, and community engagement. But be prepared to be gouged in all respects for your living expenses, such as rent and food.
