Aside from SF, Chicago, Boston, NYC, and DC...?

Question

For someone who is disabled and cannot drive, what is a good mid-sized city to live in. I'm talking about a mid-sized city that has good public transportation, good services for blind persons, low crime rate, affordability, and offers a shot at being independent. I'm not interested in large metropolitan areas like San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New York City, and the District of Columbia because even though they have good public transportation, they are also too expensive.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Ann Arbor, Michigan; Burlington, Vermont; Madison, Wisconsin; and just about any college town.

College towns usually have mass transit as many students on campus don't have or are not allowed to have cars.

Inexpensive student housing is often available. Graduate student housing often lets people who are not students rent their housing. Living in a student co-op can be a great way to have the support you need to be independent without needing actual hired support people.

Answer 2

I would try the Raleigh Durham area my girlfriend lives there and is paying 600 a month for a two bedroom apartment. She says that the transportation there is good and she said she likes the area and that it's small enough that she doesn't get lost easily. I don't' know if you have children but she also likes the school system. The area's around there are nice also. i would move but my daughter is doing really well in the school that she's in and since she's learning disabled I don't want to change her. Try that area and I'm sure that other people will give you other ideas,

Im 32 and have been living with my disability for 15 years and i know how hard public transportation can be on us with disabilities. Especially in Los Angeles or anywhere in California.In my opinion Las Vegas had great service.

Answer 4

You'll probably get several suggestions--I'll stick to the one I'm sure of, which is New Orleans. Parts of the city are pretty spread out. However, the area near the French Quarter is very pedestrian friendly, the trolly provides access to other parts of the city and downtown, and there are plenty of shops, etc. Also--as long as you don't try to rent/buy right in the French Quarter itself, living costs are low.

Answer 5

Austin doesnt have a Metrorail or anything, but they have a good bus system. It is a bit expensive in some parts of Austin (the areas close to the University of Texas are ridiculous), but other areas are quite reasonable. I love the atmosphere in Austin also. Very music, art and culture centered.

Answer 6

Atlanta, Minneapolis, Dallas, Denver, and Houston, Good Transportation Not too Expensive.

Answer 7

have you ever heard of the acronym MAD?. It stands for at the same time certain Destruction and has been interior the lexicon because of the fact the previous due Nineteen Fifties. whilst North Korea would forget approximately approximately it, (the government of NM is slightly loopy), Russia China, Iran, and so on are conscious that if we are fired upon, we can probably unharness our weapons in retaliation, assuring that if we are hit, they are going to be hit worse. Your concept isn't new.

Answer 8
