My aging parents are building a home on a hill away from the city. They will have to drive to everything. They even are building it son they can walk around the home and get to their car without stairs.

I don't get it at all. When I'm old, I want to be in a city, bottom floor and walking distance to a grocery store, doctors and aerobics class.

A car is a terrible idea. I can't say much at this point though

how will you go see them? Will this oblige you too to drive?

i'm guessing they had enough of the city. I hope they can find the peace they're searching for at their new home.

People don't retreat from the city to "drive to everything", but often in order not to drive either. They may be driving a lot less than you foresee.
