Residents of a senior-housing community in Colorado were shocked and upset recently over the announcement of a new rule: no more loud conversation, television — or even raucous laughter.
The ban, issued by the Boulder County Housing & Human Services, requests that all residents at the Kestrel community for residents 55 and over, in Louisville, restrict loud conversation, laughter, and television sound in common areas, and keep the volume to “library-level.” "It upset me, it did indeed, because I thought that this was a social area and people were having a good time," he said."It seemed quite shocking to me that suddenly, this has been declared a quiet area."
