You said: It is really sad our older folks are removing themselves from everyone’s life. You would think older folks would enjoy youth around.
The will sow what they reap for the young will not care about them when they want free medical care and to be taken care of when they are older and will get what they deserve.

Sadly, this country has grown to ignore its seniors. (I am not yet one, but the time is getting closer.) We don’t venerate them the way many other cultures do. Instead, we warehouse them in nursing homes, etc. The sense of family that was largely in place just a few generations ago has deteriorated. I wonder how much support the members of this community get from their children and grandchildren?
While I don’t think I would choose to live in such a community, these folks bought property wanting to avoid the presence of children yelling and screaming and riding their Big Wheels all over. FR usually celebrates property rights of all kinds, as well as freedom in general. The mother in this case knew or should have know what she was buying. The HOA has waited around 3 years to act, which sounds pretty reasonable. Meanwhile, it looks like every relative this woman has is living with her, and not helping out.
“Sadly, this country has grown to ignore its seniors”
I would say that this countries seniors have ignored everyone else. Many on the give-give me generation expanding massive government give-away programs for them selves and they say the heck with anyone else. The AARP for example.
Maybe they should rename the place “Darwin’s Acres.”
After all, none of them seem intent on reproducing. :p
