I have mixed feelings about it and, in general, when tallying the pluses and minuses of a place to live, it's a minus. While there's something to be said for the security, it also says you need that security (whether that's true or not). It smacks of "less service, more cost". It's one thing when it's an apartment building and you're walking past the array of boxes ANYWAY. But it's just another key to have to carry around - and I don't carry keys these days (yes, I realize that's not the norm).

I also realize that THAT ship has sailed and there's nothing I can do about it, regardless of where I might move to in retirement. That decision will have already been made.
