[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also need to allow zoning for businesses in residential neighborhoods. Think about all the elderly people aging in isolation that don't leave the house as often as they should because it involves driving. If they were able to walk to get their groceries and stop to get coffee every day, it would do wonders for their mental and physical health, as well as have more people in the local community keeping their eye out on them every day.

It’s true, I’m tired of driving to get my vape supplies and bondage gear.  Walkable medical marijuana distribution now![/quote]

Print this out when you're in your late 70s with cataracts and have to get on the Beltway to get your heart medication and groceries. You can't ask your children because they've moved to North Carolina when they couldn't come up with a 100k down payment for a McMansion near you. [/quote]

Come on, get real. Adult children with jobs and kids and independent lives do not do the majority of elder care in the US because they cannot due to other commitments (like young kids) or because they do not wish to, even if they live in the same neighborhood. This is ridiculous and spurious. If that were the priority multi generational families would all be living together under the parents’ roof, and there is no regulation stopping that. We don’t live like this or have this ethos, and zoning isn’t going to help or hinder it. [/quote]
