[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] We want walkability because of failing eyesight that will make one of us not be able to drive fairly soon. People retire in their 50 and 60's and have many decades of mobility before needing to be driven most places in their 80's or 90's. [/quote]
