And I think you're so right about considering access to medical help. I have two friends (sisters) who both decided to move two hours north of Auckland to two different tiny settlements. One is 65 and the other is 70. I don't bother remonstrating with people about decisions they've already made, but one of them told me she was surprised at how many people had brought up the issue of access to medical help with her. Why *wouldn't* that be an issue? It's bad enough being a long drive from help, but also they won't be driving forever and then what? When my housemate tripped and injured her eye, I was so grateful we were ten minutes away from the hospital.
