Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Not so much seen…I haven’t heard anyone being described as being plucky or scrappy lately.
Not that I did much in the first place, that seems to be from an era where kids had slingshots in their back pocket. Gee whiz.
or someone as having gumption.
 
For swinging singles, or married swingers, or both? Or for grown folk who'd just rather not have kids around?

One thing you certainly don't see anymore is rent that low!
"Adult apartments" used to mean "no children allowed". At least in my hometown of Dallas there were vast swaths of no-children apartments, inhabited by young people starting out in their careers. They were nice apartments with a lot of amenities for the time, and reasonable rents.

Then the Federal government forbade apartments complexes to exclude children (with an exception for over-55 properties). This completely changed the dynamics of the situation and the majority of those once-nice, swinging young people's apartments rapidly went downhill and now are horrible crime pits.
