My aging parents are building a home on a hill away from the city. They will have to drive to everything. They even are building it son they can walk around the home and get to their car without stairs.

I don't get it at all. When I'm old, I want to be in a city, bottom floor and walking distance to a grocery store, doctors and aerobics class.

A car is a terrible idea. I can't say much at this point though

years back this was one of the bigger challenges to my marriage with my wife. We would fight because she was driving a long distance to take her father shopping and we did not have the money to be spending like that. Reality had to be respected regardless of emotion.
