Must've missed the part about the plaza and safe walkability for them to socialize and attend their own needs like getting food from one of the several small local shops lining the pedestrian covered streets. They don't even have to travel to do all that in a sensible city. If they have a medical issue, there's a lot of people around to immediately notice it and help or get help. Even in a nursing home there's only so many staff, and if a senior has an issue where nobody is watching at the moment, then they could die from something simple they easily could've been saved from. What I'm going on about is that a lot of what's wrong with America is rooted in how its infrastructure was designed. And that itself is rooted in the evil rich. All roads, ironically, lead to the rich. Solve these problems and this country will truly shine

Another victim of car dependant America. Once a senior becomes too out of it to drive anymore, it's basically over for them. So they either gotta be discovered rotting in their home, or give up their freedom in trade for having people around. Sensibly designed cities have a variety of continuous transit options and plazas everywhere for people to just chill and chat casually. And crossing paths with cars isn't a life threatening endeavor because they're made to crawl through the wisely designed street that naturally encourages slower driving. That's true freedom. Such a beautiful infrastructure setup
