The neighborhood structural inequality and social disorganization fosters the development of a code of the street, or a 'might makes right mentality' that legitimizes the use of violence. This narrative is very close to the people and they identify with it more. Since the corporations want to attract people, they go with the narrative that is the most popular. The code of the street also promotes 'the survival of the fittest' and other myths. Great examples for this are ad campaigns for Nike or Supreme.
A longitudinal study that followed 1200 older adults in their transition from independent living to age-restricted housing in 1995 found that those older adults who transitioned to more expensive communities fared THE BEST with regard to physical health and overall life satisfaction and those who transitioned to government subsidized housing programs fared THE WORSE.
Explanation:
More expensive age restricted communities offer services that can enhance quality of life for the elderly. They are cared for by professionals, their every needs are met, they can have a thriving social life, they are protected, they are independent and they can enjoy their lives while being in a safe environment. Therefore they fare the best.
Government subsidized housing programs for the elderly do not offer anywhere near the quality of care and services as the expensive ones. There is little money and resources put into these programs and the level of care is far less making the quality of life for the residents poorer. Therefore they fare the worse.
