9. I've got a walking range of 200 yds. How does your ideal community manage me?

I doubt even in Manhattan, which I can't afford, there's anywhere where I can live, work, shop and enjoy amenities within a 200 yd radius, and I can't do stairs.

That's the trouble with these granola wet-dream community fantasies. They're fine as long as everybody is young, fit, able bodied and has a job you can turn up to sweaty, mudsplashed or wet through from your bicycling/walking commute, and which does not expect you to take home and bring back files/laptops and whatnot.
