    In a 55+ environment: Seniors should be a #1 priority! We should not have to succomb to lifestyles of younger people whom are allowed to live here, providing one tenant is 55. They must understand the environment, and decide if they can adhere to our need for peace and consistency. Their desires are secondary: We've earned the right to reject anything that interferes with our mental/physical well-being.
