Wow. Just wow. So if you're a "private" club, you're allowed to discriminate all you want. Way to Go Valley Swim Club and John Duesler - nothing shows off your superiority like kicking a bunch of kids out of the pool. More like John Douchebag.

Quote:
"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club," John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.

I Agree , but the rental people did not. They said it was a " Retirement home " and could have the mandated minimum age. It was some odd housing loophole. Still it was affordable and a nice tower block, but I was still too young.

In contrast, the tower block I did live in ... every year a fresh crop of college students ripe with cash would rent apartments , only to be evicted about 60 days later for various and sundry. I was responsible for some of them , when I found them drinking 40's and smashing the bottles in the freight elevator, throwing things off of the balconies ( land having them land on balconies below ) , and racing in the parking lot ( underground, and tiny, it was insane! )

Were you living near a campus or a bus route to campus? Nuts. I know I could never live in West Campus here because of the concentration of frat houses and expensive apartments that only parents pay for - barf.

Ahh retirement home - it was my understanding they had to offer a bevy of services to residents to get the legal foothold to slap an age limit. Though I could be totally crazy.

Of course now that I live in quiet, peaceful suburbia I have a total drunk of a neighbor who walks his large dog up and down the street, Budweiser in hand. He kind of gives me the creeps because he just stares at me and never says anything, even if I say "Hi, how are you doing today?"
