Abstract

Consistent with current thinking a building developer with his architect presented plans for a senior housing development to a group of senior citizens to obtain their approval. The group was so critical of the plans, their recommendations made such sense that the original plans were scrapped. A Housing Conference sought their recommendations. The housing needs requested by senior citizens were found to differ significantly from local building codes, HEW and HUD regulations.
