People have jobs and lives and families. It's pretty straightforward.

rootless cosmopolitans (like myself) should stop insisting everyone be like them. Place matters to some people.

I'm not convinced it's place. The common thread in replies has been about people and networks, not place per se. I think we're mislabeling.

of course. moving for jobs and leaving behind people, family and yes places and climate and all the knowledge you have is a horrible price.

It's like saying amputate your arm to defeat an infection. If you must, but antibiotics would be better.

People are group animals; they suffer greatly without their networks and starting over just isn't the same. huge huge loss.
