I’ve noticed that a lot of retired folks are moving out to remote areas to retire; they get a nicer house on a larger lot at a lower price than they would in an area with more jobs and city culture.
The only problem is that in these far out areas the ONLY way to get around is by DRIVING. Has anyone noticed that older folks are not the best drivers? Maybe they can pull it off when they’re in their 60’s and 70’s but what happens after that? Are they all going to die in car wrecks driving to doctor’s appointments or to visit their families? How does this make sense? Shouldn’t older folks live in communities with public transportation so than can be independent but not be a danger to themselves and others behind the wheel of a car? What are the nation’s rural roads going to be like in 10-20 years? Better make sure you are driving a safe car eh?
