I don't think my urban hellhole is optimally designed
for senior living, but I think much more than people generally realize it's superior to other options. Mobility becomes a real issue with age, both walking and driving of course, and the city offers additional transportation options, including public transit, affordable taxi rides, and greater home delivery option variety. Obviously individual preferences matter to a great degree - not trying to force granny to move to Manhattan! - but with an aging population senior living is increasingly going to be a pressing policy question.
