Too involved with self-interest, retired civil servants, educators and, elitists fakes. Rampant lawful unrest, disrespect, and superficial facades. Neighborhood is decaying at the moral seams, as is other global communities. There is no room for elderly advice or wisdom, how could there be? The elderly will not accept the responsibility in their role for the decaying community immorality.
To be able to walk the streets without having to look over your shoulder.!!! Not to be taxed to death..!!!!!
Livability should be treated fairly to our seniors, & not regarded as too much trouble..!! After all we all will be seniors-sooner or later.!
