ahh Dear MoGa---My heart goes to you----actually( at least in North Carolina)--the higher rent is for the upper floor---in a two story apartment building as that gets you away from the noise in the ceiling of the floor above---though I will tell you---even that is uncommon----
 
As for handicap access--- that is not required as it is a private residence, not a public building, so one has the choice to be there or not--although they ARE mandated to take a guide dog--yet you are there at " your own risk" as they say.  Now given thay, ( from My experience with Mom)---many complexes have 1-2 apartments fitted to the handicap or they CAN do the fitting at no extra cost--( its good for their community rating)-- she was  a tad stooped and could not always stand balanced---so she got a nice ground floor with lowered counters, double rails in the master bathroom and a few other handicap ammenities---
 
btw---you can as for tub rails and they have to supply those free-regardless----
 
however, no complex is obligated to rent to the handicap of they think their facility could be held liable for something---the more reputable ones ( and reputable does not always mean expensive)---do---I suggest like FangsnFeet---and I am sure yoiu did this--call and ask about handicap accessible for blind--but sadly as well--a dollar is a dollar and I doubt that rent will be lesss-----
 
I am sorry Dear Lady---

Termyn8tor! I should rap your knuckles you silly boy---blind accessible programs for the computer have been around for 20 years now--in fact I was the first one in the country to hire the blind to be telemarketers when I was on contract with IBM and we used large screens and  program enlargement for the legally blind and voice activation for the blind---we workeds for two years and were very successful--its only that I adore you that makes the knuckle rap light--smiles
 
Yes MoGa--you are coming here, though it takes little mobility to get the martini galss from the hand to the mouth---seriously, Tooties and I are very good at the clock--smiles--and I know you know what that is---so I just want your sister to put you on the plane and we are good to go, I so want to see you---and so do the horses---and the bevy of boys.

Do you mind If I ask how you went blind? Was it an accident, an all of a sudden condition or degenerative?

I had brain surgery a year ago (aneurysm). It is then that my problems began. When I came out of surgery, I saw faces but they were "monster" faces. Very oblong and deformed. It scared the shit out of me. Very frightening. It took about 3 months for that to stop. Then I started seeing a hazy purple when I went outside. When I came back in, it would take a good two minutes for me to see. It was all black. I went through 4 months of that. My doctor kept saying that I was losing my eyesight. He said between my visit in August and my visit in Sept. I had lost 85% of my sight.
It was discovered that I had a tumor in my pituitary gland, which leads to the optic nerve. I went to the hospital for surgery again, but they found no tumor. Strange, but true. What they did find, was evidence of "Mini" strokes. That coupled with the 33 years of smoking (I quit 4 years ago) and I have very small veins, they discovered that the blood flow to the optic nerve had been shut off for short periods of time. It caused enough damage for me to lose my sight. It took a matter of 3 months for me to lose it all together. Thank you for asking lusciouslips. I don't mind talking about it now. In fact I was in such denial that I joked about it all the time. I guess I am no longer joking.

 I am also “handicapped”, {born missing my left fore arm}…  Life is life; you take it as it comes… 
 
I am forced to drive and automatic transmission cars because of my disability…  Stick shift cars are much less expensive…  By law, I am not allowed to drive stick shift…  Oh well, life will go on…
 
There isn’t anything that I can not do, unless I do not want to… I have been a server {waitress} 21 years…  I love a challenge…
 
I know it is not your fault that you went blind, nor is it anyone else’s fault… when I need a glove; I still have to buy two…  The only thing that I do get a discount on is when I get my nails done… {lol, lol}
 
Not to be a smart ass, but when dining out, white on right... in other words, white sugar, salt… All restaurant are supposed to do that, but not everyone does, they also carry brail menus, {again, they are supposed to}…
 
I am sorry you lost your sight and it must suck for you right now... However, pick your battles…

If blind people wear dark glasses, why don't deaf people wear ear muffs?
