Most seniors don't have mobility issues and WANT to WALK for exercise & socializing and even CYCLE as the article below demonstrates. We only have to make our neighbourhoods safe for them to do so! (The article linked to is in Dutch so hit the TRANSLATE button to read in English)

Why are environmental NGOs like @envirodefence pushing governments so hard to densify existing neighbourhoods & shift construction from detached houses to denser building types? A big part of it is summed up right here:
Sprawl developers try to convince us to move to "greenfield" suburbs to be closer to nature. But the effect of building at low densities is to push farmland and natural areas further and further away from where most of us live. It takes DENSITY to keep nature within easy reach.

For over 40 years, Toronto’s Somali community has dreamed of creating a Somali Centre for Culture & Recreation. Today, we took a significant step toward turning that dream into reality. I love & admire the leaders at @SomaliCentreTO. They will always have my friendship & support.

#UrbanHealth #Power2Transform Agree 100% with superb Canadian Climate Scientist Prof. @KHayhoe: "I'm convinced that, powered by hope and fueled by courage and anger, we have the power to transform our collective future." Climate change & city building interwoven. Make it win-win.

MNTO is not just that group in their 20's that show up at council; a lot of us are 20s, 30s, and 40s+ who are afraid that people we care about won't have a place in our communities b/c gov't won't build the housing we need NOW. Holding leadership accountable is the first step.
