This was my exact thought process lol, I thought the part with the big long park was really nice. Nope, it's an enormous fenced off lawn that only four people are allowed onto at a time. A very eat shit and die to whoever designed this.
What is the thing with boomers and golf? Out of all the things you can spend your retirement years on, why is it golf that is built into the street plan of boomer housing? You don't see boomer neighbourhoods constructed around petanque courts or fishing lakes.
They're golf clubs so they can control who comes in, as in they don't let minorities in. They feel safer. The courses are just big green lawns, so they're cozy. Golfers spend most of the time talking so it's how they socialize. Plus it's staffed with terrified servants, usually the kind the golfers are used to if you know what I'm saying. Not only can they speak to the manager, they are the manager. They're members so they can complain and get you fired. It's everything they love all in one place.
It's associated with rich people. If you can live on the golf course wow siree, you really made it in life! That kind of sales pitch works really well on older generations, especially people who move away from their family to a "retirement community" (inherently middle class to upper middle class aka strivers).
their wives aren't allowed in, nor are the wrong kind of people, they can get drunk all day, and they can cheat at this game without anyone caring, as well as what others have said.
was about to say "at least there's some green space" but then I zoomed in and they're fucking GOLF COURSES
