Senior Community Centers of San Diego

Another landmark in the downtown/​east village area. Senior Community Centers occupies a full city block in between 9^th/​10^th/​broadway/​C St. I believe that is occupied entirely by older welfare/​fixed income recipients– even though it has a totally bitching location, the residents I view every day walking up and down broadway do not look like the wealthy seniors who’ve been moving into condos downtown.
I’ve never been inside, but it seems to me like the center city is the perfect place for seniors to live, what with the higher population density and greater access to public transport, retail, etc. etc. I think it’s a token of our shortcoming as a culture that seniors themselves often spurn urban environments, ending up stashed in rural/​suburban wastelands where they can’t do anything or go anywhere without help.
They ought to take some of the many unsold condos downtown and put fixed income seniors in there. That would be sweet.
