i remember when we all just hated the privileged snobs that lived in Seranada, long before Sun City was built.

You forgot Berry Creek, the Beverly Hills of Georgetown.

To JJ79
Which retirement community you live in?

I'm in Arizona.

That was my plan for a long time but it's expensive as heck.

Aggieland is more expensive than the Phoenix area?

By a lot.

And it's short on mountains and palm trees.

Guess I never got the desert out of my system as well.

Are you in or close to Chandler?

And what about the Golden Tor grandmother?

Not far from Chandler. All is well.

I'm not sure where they get the women here. Young or old.

Good place to be living. Especially as a single guy.

Why does the Fair Housing Act protect these classes of people, but doesn't protect the young?

In other words, why do olds get the privilege of their own neighborhood, but most other classes don't? How many old black people live in these neighborhoods?

And we don't move our clocks.

You can't exclude young people from an age restricted community. We have 40 somethings in ours. You can cap the percentage. Not sure why young people would want to live here even though it's awesome. Similarly I wouldn't want to live in.a student dominated community in CS.

I have an aunt and uncle that moved there from the east coast. She's a raging liberal Jewish woman from Connecticut and loves her community, so take that for what it's worth. Uncle was born and raised in Texas but was Navy for a long career, he's a closet conservative, would not dare cross her

As long as he votes Republican in the private voting booth, then I accept his get along with spouse at home, attitude.

Compared to where?

Charpie, he lives in the Phoenix area in a retirement community.

When I compared it to Arizona it was more expensive.

I stayed at my friend's grandparents retirement place in Palm Springs, it's awesome! Tons of amenities.

Whew. I didn't get to the end of the thread before I replied. My apologies

Also, probably half of the old Ags wouldn't meet the academic standards of the current "diploma mill" A&M.

Yet, somehow, it's their names on the buildings, not the diploma mill grads' names

I've lived in Georgetown for 11 years. When I moved here it was THE county you did not want a ticket of any kind. Tough on crime, hauled homeless and vagrants to Austin. Fast forward to today. Full of crazy homeless, had a few lousy judges and DA, green energy blew electricity prices thru the roof, elections have been won by republicans by literally 10s of votes. One judge I know specifically won by 12 votes. Georgetown/williamson county is going to be taken over a la Denver by Californians. It's basically toast.

If it isn't already toast. It is unbelievable what the bleed over from Austin has done to Wilco.

I've read of this degrading governance for a while. I knew the anecdotes must be true when I read about their insane renewable energy scheme over 5 years ago.

Sad.

If I recall the rule at Sun City is that at least one of the household must be 55+. I'm 56 and have two teenagers, a I qualify. But still thought it odd that age is excluded from the FHA.

If I were young, I would love to live there. Nicely kept homes, law and order,, lots of taxpayers but low school density, and probably a few cougars on the prowl. What's not to like?

One of my friends in the neighborhood just turned 40. His wife is a little older but neither is near 55. They got in because the neighborhood hadn't reached the allowable cut off mark so they had to be allowed to buy.

Ha, I don't know about that. The vast majority of folks I've seen there while visiting over the years are more in the 70+ age range.

How does a development like this get around age discrimination as a protected class to buyers?

I always thought it was illegal to discriminate based on any class, but I did a Google for Fair Housing Act and found that image above. Apparently, it is completely legal, much like insurance pricing discrimination based on age

Live in a retirement community that is solid red. A couple from California moved in on my street last spring. They've already moved because they said it's hard living around people that are against illegal immigration, abortion, etc. Goodbye.

---

We can find some rural border towns that will have the same pro-illegal immigration beliefs. They may not like how that affects their quality of life.

Where are the homeless? I am in GT a a lot and I have never seen a homeless person, so I am curious on this point. I do agree with the rest of your post, though.

People under the age benchmark can't be excluded . The percentage of homes occupied by those under the age can be limited.

We've lived in Gtown since '95 when there was 15-16K residents. Sun City certainly changed the dynamics of the town, mostly for the better. But, there are a lot of former military residents in Sun City, and a lot of them are Democrats. They're used to the federal tit, I guess.
Williamson County, on the other hand, has seen an invasion of liberals. The suburban areas north of Austin such as Cedar Park and Leander are overrun with Cali implants working for the tech companies. Once the Samsung chip plant in Taylor is up and running, there is a good chance Williamson will be purple at best.

Bell County has barely kept our mutual US Rep Republican. Williamson county has gone for the Democrat the last two times i believe.

If Carter had an opponent in 2022, i'm not sure he'd have won.

also, stop letting the Austinites get past you to Temple/Belton/Salado.

Born and raised in Georgetown. Definitely noticed this. I live in Leander now. I plan to retire out in Kingsland or Llano. I hope it's far enough away that it doesn't get overtaken, too.

There's a mean/crazy guy at the corner of 35 and Leander Rd. If you're heading east and you're in the inside lane beware!!
