Really unreasonable. I moved here to remain active in my older years. Having a car and driving is what makes active living possible. Yes - the day will come - where I am disabled - mentally and/or physically - but living in my current home will not be an option - then.
Just my opinion.

Well, there currently are public transport systems being tested that do come to your house and take you where you want to go. They are full autonomous self driving cars and vans. They are being tested in some cities around the country.
I read an article about a year ago that a company providing a taxi service was starting up here in the villages, and it will be using self driving cars.
I think that is a very viable alternative, even if I have to pay per ride, since most of the time my car sits in the garage not being used, but I still pay taxes, and insurance on it.
