The two I’ve heard of in our area are not subsidized by anyone. Sounds like a great option for a single senior. One of them even includes a limited work out room. No worry about taxes, insurance, lawn care, bad neighbors probably don’t stay long, etc.
Plenty of “bad neighbors” in a weekly motel. Guaranteed. Those operations tend to attract riff raf big time.
You’re right about that. The two that I know of are just half a block off the beach and in an area not currently frequented by any local riff raf. They have their own area in another part of the city. I go by several others on the way into Houston that I wouldn’t stay in even if I had armed bodyguards but some of those only have an hourly rate - but you get free movies - and probably not from Netflix. LOL
