Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Maybe he shouldn't be living on his own then.
Maybe he can live on his own as he may still be independent with other activities of daily living like cooking, walking to the bathroom, be able to put on clothes, etc.
Not being able to drive is one thing but maybe there are food delivery services, Uber/Lyft/Taxis and other non medical transportation, and for medical emergencies Life Alert, Ambulances.
Just saying there is a lot we do not know.
No, no, I read two sentences on Lemmy. That's enough for me to know what's best for everyone.
maybe cities should be cheaper or live in care should be provided?
lol you just complained about capitalism
Oh I harp on the need for regulation and taxation all the time. it needs tight controls.
Maybe he does not.
Then what's the issue? If he doesn't then the person living with him should be doing the driving.
Unless they are also elderly and unable to drive safely. Then they should both be selling the farm and moving somewhere closer to town/services.
Nobody likes to sell the farm. But there's got to be someone there to take care of it and him. If there isn't, then yeah, sell the farm and he gets to move in with someone who can care for him, either family or an elderly care facility. (And you really don't want your family in a care facility.)
