Obi tuaries Of the 60-plus population, many are living in wonderful family homes because they can t afford to move to smaller, more desirable living quarters. A smaller, nice house costs twice as much as their current homes.
Taxes are twice as high and condo fees can be out of sight.
In general, the cost of living is better than elsewhere. The amount of people coming to us for help finding affordable housing has doubled over the past five years. And people just cannot afford health care. We need to bring down the barriers and make things like the job market more equitable. Also, there would be more job opportunities if we could do something about transportation problems.
