What if the future of senior living isn't bigger houses, but smaller homes and stronger communities?

Summary

The video contrasts historical village living with modern housing norms, suggesting that smaller homes and stronger communities may represent a viable alternative to large, isolated single-family homes. The speaker frames this as a return to traditional patterns of mutual aid and shared resources rather than regression.
