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

My grandfather moved from the city to the country when he retired. He built a house out in the woods (was a carpenter) and lived there for like 25 years before he died (82). My grandmother lived there by herself for another decade until she moved in with family before passing away herself (98).
