Stupid putting elderly cripples in such accommodation.
I imagine most will be capable of walking down one flight of stairs
anyway.

Actually, multi-storey flats and elderly people are an ideal match.
They have accomodation on one level, there's no garden to maintain,
and they don't generally have young children that need a space to play
in. Refuse disposal is via a chute, so no wheely bins to move.
Provided the lifts are maintained, they usually don't have to go down
stairs to get out of the building.

They are more secure too, as long as the access system works.

Older people don't turn them into rubbish tips like some other residents
used to.
