We “retired” and moved to rural Oregon almost twenty years ago at the suggestion of our daughter. She wanted her family to move to a nearby city but was reluctant to move with no backing. Five years later she took another job and moved several hours further North. Everyone we know who moved to be near children has had the experience of them moving away in a few years.
I can understand the appeal of wanting to stay where you are comfortable, but a lot of cities would benefit from retired people leaving and making space for those working.
