[quote=Anonymous]For those who care, Uber has had some lawsuits over their drivers refusing people with guide and other service dogs. Taxis do this too. Paratransit which was also mentioned doesn't work well either. They state that they can pick you up half an hour early or half an hour late. They also want their passengers to be outside waiting for them no matter the weather. Finally, paratransit is a shared ride system and they don't route by location. What this means is that you could be driven literally all over the county to pick up another passenger, then driven some more to drop that passenger off before you ever get to your destination. This means that if you have to be someplace on time (think doctor or dentist) you're screwed. Paratransit makes people who don't have to use feel like they are helping, yet is unusable if you need or want to be someplace. There is a reason why people don't just say "f*** it, I'll give up my car". As for op's mother-in-law, so long as your wife isn't canceling date night or failing to be home for the kids after school because Grandma decides at the last minute she absolutely needs something, what do you care? If you'd like to move, go ahead and do so. Your wife will either join you or not. Your post implies that you'd not have married her had you realized her mother couldn't drive. If that's the impression she's getting, I'd not move with you either. No way would I give up the friends, familarity, routines, and everything I know to be with a man who may regard me as a burden should my body break down. I'd also be thinking bout the type of person you'd be should your body break down and if that was something I wanted to live with.  [/quote]
