I am always fascinated by the divergence of threads on CD. They can get so far off the original intent and yet still stay interesting and have strong connections to the OP's post. This seems to be one of those. It's wandering all over the place, but is full of really useful information.
Have you noticed that LauraC not only starts good threads, but always has great input?

not sure you're gonna be able to help here.
HWTOIHW ,,, Could be a 'Long Island thing', I've noticed that a lot. It is good to get an idea of the cultural attitudes in different parts of the world (and how they respond to 'suggestions' when they 'ask' for them). The 'spice of life' is good for diversity. That way we don't all end up in Tuscon

Maybe there is a market for 'carving up' McMansions with a chainsaw. Excessive Property Tax and Utility charges will become the 'next burden of foreclosure'. Not many of the McMansions are appropriate for mixed generations. Huge garages on the main floor, but no bedrooms Not ez for us 'older' folks, tho we might be sleeping in the garage anyway.
'Indoor RV parking' would be a good use for such places (less tax on Garage space), + 'mom-and-dad' could hit-the-road whenever the tension built too high.

Thanks. Have you noticed I have no input for this one? I rent.
If I had a house it would definitely be one level with grab bars. I won't even rent a townhouse and they are popular around here. You don't have to be old to fall or slip but at least when I was younger I had a better shot at getting up.

Single story homes will make for good senior living. We will have wide doorways, tile or concrete, walk in shower that can house a wheelchair.
Our last home will be very, very small, with a place to sit, watch tv (if we have tv) place to eat and sleep and bath. No luxury space except for a small cubicle for office stuff. I would rather have a courtyard and spend most of my time outside in a garden or patio.
