Seniors, Roommates

Do you see each other often?
Rosenfeld: No. She does everything by herself, and I do everything by myself. I have my own things, she has her own things.
Carolyn Allen: But it’s good to have someone around. In my old apartment, I’d hear noises, and that was really hard. I hope Marcia feels the same way about me.
Rosenfeld: Yes, of course I do.

New York magazine did a few case studies on roommates who live in New York, but the most interesting case study is the two senior citizens who share an apartment in Ditmas Park. It’s good to know that I may be able to find a roommate if I need one when I’m 70.
