Well my own personal perspective is that I'd like to live somewhere that I can do gardening, grow veg[1] and sometimes go for a walk and see some wildlife. I'd also like to live in a place where the average age isn't 40 years older than I am so that I could have some kind of social life without driving for miles (ideally I don't want to drive at all). Which is all very unrealistic, and I'll probably end up living in the middle of nowhere with no social life if I ever have enough money to afford a house.
I don't think it's good for the social makeup of small towns and villages. Healthy communities need people of all ages, not just retirees.
[1] this is kinda possible in a city, but usually costs a fortune. I used to live near allotments in Edinburgh but they were super expensive to rent.
