[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how everyone is deciding walkability and NYC are the goal. I mean sure they are for a certain % who is really really fit going into retirement and thus as elderly people walking blocks and blocks is no problem. Sure cabs, uber, blah blah but let's be honest when you're in NYC you're on your feet a lot. I was good with it in my 20s-30s, but I can' imagine it at 80+ esp seeing aging relatives - a couple of them could handle NYC but would be tired; the others have all kinds of aches and pains and often get tired just having to stand someplace waiting for service like getting keys back at the car dealership service station; and these are all people in their 70s.[/quote]

70's seems young to be getting that tired. My dad still jogs in his mid 70's, if you are active when you are young you will have less problems when older.  My FIL who never exercised in his life is only now having mobility issues at 79.  If someone is retiring around 60 I would say they have a good 20 years before it  becomes a problem but then again people that keep exercising have good mobility even longer.

Its probably personal to each person but keeping active will certainly help people in retirement.[/quote]
