There is no requirement that the remaining 20% of the occupied units be occupied by persons under the age of 55, nor is there a requirement that those units be used only for persons where at least one member of the household is 55 years of age or older. Communities may decline to permit any persons under the age of 55, may require that 100% of the units have at least one occupant who is 55 years of age or older, may permit up to 20% of the occupied units to be occupied by persons who are younger than 55 years of age, or set whatever requirements they wish, as long as at least 80% of the occupied units are occupied by one person 55 years of age or older, and so long as such requirements are not inconsistent with the overall intent to be housing for older persons.

Thank you Skip, for another clarification of the so called 80/20 rule. However, it seems no matter how many times it is made very clear,and you did, there are those that muddy the waters again.
I have said before and I will repeat, look around you. How many residences do you know of here there is not at least one person over 55?
By the way, my granddad was "Skip", my dad was "Skip" and my late brother was the last of the "Skips" in our line.
