Lots of transportation, stores around and you always see people being respectful to each other.
I feel this way, because depending on what street you live in, the neighborhood might not be safe.
The traffic is bad
Boston is a amazing city… it has great hospital care, great schools (great education).
Although it's a small area for a major city, it's very age friendly because it offers many things. For older persons mobility tends to be a problem. Driving may be difficult and Boston is not only walkable, they also offer great public transportation. Everything is just a short distance away and will be very accessible for older people. There's different communities for this group to engage in and healthcare aid throughout the city. There's many opportunities for older people in this city and because of this convenience the livability is optimal.
To me is a safe environment and a good place to work and live
I like take care old people
It's a good are for people that older everything is around the corner from each and it's easy access for them and us well it's faster for them to get to it then any where else!
