    He said his parents had lived in single family homes and that they don't like the apartment style. I think he was implying that his parents don't like the idea of having to share a building with another tenant. Detroitnerd would probably call them racists because of that.

    That is what I was saying. I have tried to get them interested in an apartment style unit but they freak-out at not having a basement or a garage to put their crap. Then they complain because the only thing they can find is in soul-less places in strip mall city. When I suggest them moving from a colonial to a nearby ranch in Rosedale they look at me like I am crazy as they have it in their head they want a condo with an attached garage. People in their 70's do not want a house with a lot of stairs. They want homes with less stairs. This is by far the fastest growing market. In Detroit however everyone thinks that having a house is normal, so this market segment gravitates towards ranch style condos, preferrably detached [[till they see the price tags against the attached ones!)
