What really surprises me in west palm are just how many of the housing communities post signage about being 55+, soooo much of the housing restricted by age. Sure, it’s famous for being a retirement community but I’m just so surprised it’s legal to limit the housing stock by age.

Many communities in my home state Florida were 55+.

All ends of the spectrum...condos and trailer parks. The community wants a quiet environment.

It's enabled by the fact that federal discrimination law explicitly allows "one-sided" discrimination by age. Not for any other classes (race, sex, etc)
