Around my neighborhood the elderly take care of the young and the young take care of elderly. The elderly and young adults feed the kids in the neighborhood in summer time everyday at 12 pm for lunch.. Its truly amazing.. The young ppl mow lawns and go to the local store for the elderly in the area... Just little things as appreciation
Although companies are not supposed to discriminate against age, I believe they do, which makes it so much harder for individuals to find work. Those individuals may need the extra income because their social security or retirement just isn't enough for them to live off of. Or some individuals need to have something to do with their extra time.
general livability, care, working, education, transportation, and community engagement.
The people are nice and respectful
Perfect for raising kids and retirement
