Yes, I lived on my own since I was about 22 years old. It had become a disadvantage when I had surgery on my leg, and was in a splint for some time. Because I lived on the 3rd floor Apt. Building, The surgeon thought it was necessary that I moved to a new location or a first floor. Because of break-in’s on the ground floor. I moved away to a different apt, that had security doors in order to get in, but of course on a lower floor.
