Why keep talking about only 80% of the homes must be 55 or older. These DUI, drug possession, fisticuffs, shoplifting, stealing, etc criminals couldn't afford a home here if they could. They are adult children who couldn't make it on their own, and the parents take them back.

The didn't make it in the first place because the parents never had ground rules, lacked authority, and let the kid run over them. Now as a 35 year old adult and mostly unemployed, they run over their parents even more who are now less defensible as a senior. It's not until the parent finally puts the foot down and tells them to 'get out', or the law incarcerates them for a length of time, will we see a end to this behavior. Recent case is the 31 year old who while intoxicated (by his own omission) swung his golf cart around in a violate maneuver throwing a 51 year old female out on her head who later died. He now faces DUI vehicular manslaughter. Even with these charges, the parents have him out on bail.
