They could, absolutely. My mother has always dreamed of buying a house in Florida for instance but that would be impossible with their finances. Both of my parents are immigrants from a small country, they immigrated to NYC because it's one of the few cities in America where other folks from our country settled. Moving would undoubtedly allow them to ease up on rent and cost of living, but it would also move them away from other family members, long time friends, church community, etc. As mentioned, both are very sedentary due to injury despite the fact that my dad works a grueling job, if they moved away from the community that has supported them for ~30 years I could only see their quality of life worsening.
