At your age you will find younger people in the new areas south of 466-a.

There is a different camaraderie here sharing things, so much more in common with your neighbors.

U would be dealing with generational differences, been there seen it first hand.
Bob. If you see it first hand you are hanging around with the wrong group.

When you move here you will find a bunch of people who all have a 16 year old hidden inside of them. If you recognise that 16 year old, you are in for a joyful ride. You will find a group of people with at LEAST five decades of life experiences who have worked for a long time, experienced sadness and disappointment, frustration and pain and have had a lot of successes and wonderful moments. Seniors are thought to be a little wiser and a little more compassionate for good reason.

We do NOT need to encourage age bias in this place. It is a silly and hurtful concept.
