most boomers won't be relocating for retirement. the vast majority want to be near their family. Their kids and grandkids are likely entrenched in their current communities and won't/can't go anywhere. I disagree based on what I see here in Fl - Most of the retirees I see at 65 have left family to get to nicer climate and more golf/fishing and other retirement activity. I see many of these retirees come with friends from home who have also retired. They flock like seagulls. However many after losing a mate or getting very old, broke or sickly do return to where thier kids/family are. From my conversations with them - Many don't want to do that because they feel thier kids don't want them around - but they are forced into being a burden on thier children. The guy from Departures Magazine is on CNBC right now talking about wealthy boomers wanting to travel internationally.
