There are times when I just shrug and say, "Why not retire in place?" but for some reason it's more of a cultural thing to be living with other people who are your own age. All I know is, I don't want to be the lone gay male when I'm older and not working. That's why I'm interested in looking at over 60 housing and living for gay people. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them. Rainbow Vista - Senior Gay Community This place sounds very interesting.
It would be quite a good thing to find senior apartments like the one you shared. My issue is that I don't want to live away from my family. The thought of living far away and starting over is not appealing to me. I suppose there is not enough of us for these sorts of places to be too prevalent, especially in the colder northeast. Finding affordable, decent housing is not easy.
I retired from nearly 25 years of working in "the city" back in 2003, due to health (and other) reasons. I am more than happy to stay right where I am today, in the same house where Mom and I had lived since 1993 (she sadly passed in 2016) I grew up living in city apartment houses, and loved it. These days, however, things are much, much, different, and, being as reclusive as I have become in the course of the past several years, i have NO desire to live in any sort of "multi-family" unit or community. This has nothing to do with being anti-social; far from it. It's that, these days, too many people simply cannot be trusted, and you have NO idea what many people today are REALLY like. I've been a "lone gay (lifelong celibate) male" for all of my adult life, and always will be. Sure it gets VERY lonely and FRUSTRATING at times, but, at least, I remain my own man, and can enjoy my privacy with no strings attatched...........
