My wife and I are baby boomers "aging like fine wine" in our oversized suburban home. We've looked into apartment style living but it just doesn't appeal. It just seems like a hassle dealing with neighbors that close. It's still nice to pull into our own driveway and have nobody living on top of us (or under us). It does suck sometimes to mow your lawn and shovel snow but that's what we have landscapers and plow services for.

BTW, all our children are moved out and on their own. It's nice to come home to a quiet house and have all those extra bedrooms for guests. Having grown children living at home must get old rather quickly.

Problem is that tax breaks for geezers are distorting the real estate market, kinda like rent control does. All things being equal, folks should be able to live any where they like and can afford. Those property tax breaks for seniors are helping older folks at the expense of younger ones.

For me, I long for the day when I can retire and have all the time I want to do yard work and mow. That's therapy. Both physical and mental. As far as snow, we don't get any here. That I like.
