>How can grandparents or relatives visit for a weekend?
Speaking as someone who moved the family to the city and had a fair number of (free) on and (paid) off street parking options nearby, for about 50% of the people we knew, it was like we moved to the moon. Even though we only moved about 5 miles, but that "parking" thing was a massive disincentive for people to come to visit.
On the other side of the coin, my small town mom loved that she didn't have to drive at all and could take a 90 minute bus ride to come visit.
For the other set of grandparents, who were uncomfortable with driving in and parking, we'd simply drive out to pick them up.
EDIT: I'm also reasonably confident that the 4th floor walkup was just as intimidating as the parking situation
