LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Neighbors age-friendly?

Posted

To the editor:

As a man of a certain age, I may not walk as quickly as I used to. My voice might not be as boisterous, and I may ask you to repeat what you say from time to time.

But one thing has not diminished with my age — my right to voice my opinion.

Unfortunately, this right was stripped from me on May 7 during the land use committee meeting, as I was surrounded by loud, confrontational and threatening “neighbors,” so much that I felt I could not safely voice my support for the Hebrew Home’s community care retirement community without being heckled.

Riverdale is supposed to be age-friendly. Let’s remember to act that way.
