Quality housing attracts top service providers to the community, from teachers and doctors to police and entrepreneurs. The flow and system of transportation enable residents to access jobs and attain job security, improving their financial standing and eliminating the need for long commutes or even cars. When there’s bustling housing, commercial spaces are aplenty, and there are more opportunities to earn a decent living, connect with people, or upgrade one’s level of living comfort. Walkable complexes, too, promote human interaction and strengthen social ties and communication.
Even affordable housing for seniors improve care and longevity, providing the necessary nursing services, wellness classes and opportunities to be fit and healthy, and facilities to monitor or manage disease.
