the old and infirm? public transportation, and a good set of walking shoes, oh, you can’t walk, well fuck you, no cars allowed buddy, you live where you fall now
if you cant walk how are you getting in to your car? do you just live there? car centric infrastructure has never been particularly wheelchair or walker friendly
really though if you dont like it, don’t move there. There are care homes better suited to your needs and concerns.
Afaik research shows efforts like this actually help diverse communities. Older adults don’t benefit as much from nursing homes and the like because it denies them ability to socialize with other generations.
Plus, here in the US fuckin nothing is in walking distance for a sizable population. Older adults and infirm need areas they can walk (or scoot or whatever) without risk of being hit by cars when they take longer to cross a street. Research also shows older adults prefer getting shit done on their own when they can, so giving them ample opportunities like this is exactly what they need. They’re still surrounded by people that can help if they do fall.
Cheer up mate
I can tell you haven’t been to Nordhavn. There are roads and and cars/ambulance can absolutely drive by. Owning a car in Nordhavn in very hard though, very little parking.
