In the southern Bay Area, where land is dear, the facilitiest the Overseas Chinese Education Center are cramped, and most of the elderly groups try their luck elsewhere. On normal days the groups meet at municipal senior centers, apartment complexes for the elderly that house many seniors from Taiwan, or other places where they share space and resources with people of other ethnic groups.
在地價高昂、僑教中心略顯狹隘的舊金山南灣，大部份老人社團就得各憑本事找場地了，有些社團平日「寄生」在各個市立的老人中心、或是有許多台灣老人聚居的老人公寓內，和其他族裔的老人共享空間與資源。
