We will reach that point someday. But to infer that TV has to change the mail distribution system to accomodate us as we grow old is wishful thinking. As neighbors, many of us have picked up an ailing neighbors mail........not a big deal.

That is very kind of you to pick up the ailing neighbors' mail, which any of us would also be happy to assist our elders in doing..........but I didn't realize there was an age limit for residing in TV? I know it's 55 and up.
But what is the cut off age?
It's not like Soylent Green where they turn the elders into fertilizer cubes, is it? Not everyone that's 80+ lives in a nursing home.
But I get your point..........but obviously, you're one of the youngens.
When you live a little longer........you'll see various stages of aging in place.......among your friends, family, neighbors. We've seen it all, even in those much younger...........
No one said TV should change the mail distribution system. It's a HUGE COMPLEX.......and if it works as it is, fine. Just I can understand why people would miss the convenience of having their mail at their door.
We didn't have a problem with it as we only got mail once; something that had been ordered for a grandbaby that would be visiting. In our situation, it was fairly close near the community pool........but we did drive through other villages where the mail was NOT near most of the homes...........
