Because they want their mom to move close to them .Because they want her to see how expensive it is to live there .Because they want to know how much it will cost them to pay for her place .Because they want her to see there 's nothing available .
What may be the reason for the hypothetical search ?
I decided to do a hypothetical search assuming my mom ( who is wheelchair bound ) might move to my city and need an apartment . So I started with Apartment Guide . This site let me search by zip code on the first screen . So I entered my zip code ( since I would want mom to be near by ) . The initial results screen had a button which I clicked for " More Amenities " . This screen let me check Disability Access , and Accepts Electronic Payments ( so I could pay mom 's bill using my online banking ) .
