In the late 1950s, a real estate builder named Del Webb passed by what is now Sun City, Arizona (Sun City, Arizona) City), I felt that the climate here was hot and dry, and the land was very cheap, so I decided to build some residences here for some farmers in the cold regions of the United States to come here for vacation during their winter slack. As a result, most of the people who come here for vacation are the elderly. Inspired, he simply targeted the elderly. He built some sample houses here only for retired people over 55 years old, and also built recreational facilities for the elderly such as recuperation, medical, business centers and golf courses. Due to low housing prices and a good climate, housing is in short supply. Since then, a new city has sprung up here. The residences here are all bungalows or villas, so there is no need to climb stairs. The maximum speed of vehicles in the entire city does not exceed 50 kilometers per hour, and golf carts are one of the main legal means of transportation for residents. There are more than 120 senior activity centers and country clubs with rich content. There are golf, tennis and other venues, and indoor gyms, swimming pools, computer rooms, handicraft rooms, skating rinks, yoga rooms, etc. for the elderly to relax and exercise. Today, there are about 38,000 residents living here, with an average age of 72.4 years old. The picture shows an old man practicing synchronized swimming with his companions in Suncity, USA, on January 9.
