[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love this. My mom refuses to move out of their sh*tty town -- just inertia -- and I would welcome them being closer. [/quote]

I don’t know…we just bought a house near us for my husband’s parents. The lived in a shitty town with nothing except for a chilis and a Walmart. Here, we paid a premium for them to be one block from our walkable town with many shops, activities, library, ymca, movie theater, restaurants, drugstore, grocery store, even doctors all within a few blocks…they just sit in the house watching tv and continually text my husband to do things for them and to complain about their free house (which is much much nicer than their old home). They have zero interest in leaving the house to see our kids, but, they text my 12 year old and order him to come over and do chores for them.

So, we wish they had stayed in their crappy town. Maybe it’s good if they stay put.[/quote]

Well, retired people tend to be old, ill, slow and not energetic for much socializing.[/quote]
