Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?
The terrain can be challenging as they don't have things like ramps, signaling at traffic lights for pedestrians, good paved sidewalks, or accessible doors. It's easy to hire someone who can help to support you with specific needs, but it can be more challenging. - Aug 2025
