Passions regarding pension reform do not subside in Russia, with this almost no one even noticed a modest offer from of some sociologists of the Russian Federation that for Russian elderly people need not to increase or decrease pensions, exit time for well-deserved rest, and fundamentally change the system of houses for the elderly. And then maybe there will be no problem with providing a decent life for an elderly person.

This is not a fictional seventeenth-century philosopher Campanella a society of equality, justice and universal happiness, but something very close to the dream of an Italian utopian. In these settlements elderly people live, most of whom have already lost such passions like hoarding, thirst for power, envy and so on, and because the relationship here is built very differently than in the ordinary world – more humane, tolerant and fair.
One of the characteristic features of such towns is the elderly in it feel young, not deprived of anything: not attention others, neither care nor admiration. On the other hand, they just do not interfere with their children and grandchildren, who, although they can attend, but very limited time.

The only thing that saddens such Sun Cities is not for the poor, not all pensioners can get here (buy a house) in the USA. But if (for example, in our Russia) to invest worthy in this idea means, then such beautiful settlements could completely replace boring and squalid nursing homes more like hospitals closed type.
In conclusion, we suggest you watch a video about American settlements – Cities of the Sun, video based on photographs talented photographer Kendrick Brinson, who called this photo session – “a happy utopia for the elderly” …
