Plenty of that happens in the US too though. I grew up in the Rust Belt but have lived my entire post-college life (more than 2.5 decades) on the west coast.

By the time you need to get on a plane to visit, 2000 miles vs 5000 miles isn't a tremendous difference. (Assuming normal times with open borders).

Every time your elderly father gets sick are you going take the plane? Take him to the doctor? Wash him, prepare dinner. Not everyone can afford retirement facility.
