    <description>&lt;P&gt;FROM THE ARTICLE.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Progress in Creating Livable Communities for People of All Ages.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;By Rodney Harrell, AARP Public Policy Institute. Published February 03, 2026.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;With the right tools and support, people have the power to improve communities for residents of all ages. Keeping that in mind, our AARP Livable Communities team created the AARP Livability IndexTM platform and manages the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities (AARP age-friendly network) to help residents measure and support their progress towards making their neighborhoods more livable. Now there is new evidence that those efforts have indeed had a positive impact on the lives of older Americans.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;USE LINK BELOW TO READ THE ARTICLE.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.aarp.org/pri/topics/livable-communities/livability-index-data-progress-livable-communities/" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.aarp.org/pri/topics/livable-communities/livability-index-data-progress-livable-communities/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;What does increasing a community’s livability index do for its affordability?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Which one would take precedence?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can you have it all AND affordability?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="IMG_0315.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.aarp.org/skins/images/FB3FFC8A64D24FF5B535D9D074A65697/responsive_peak/images/image_not_found.png" alt="IMG_0315.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
