I think that it depends more on whether or not the new place is a better
"fit" than the old one. I once thought I'd hate living several states
away from where I grew up, but then trailer parks and developers and
city people showed up en masse, and it wasn't my little farming town any
more. The lilacs and my waterfall were the last straws.

Since leaving Illinois, my husband and I have lived in Texas (loathed
it) and Washington State (loving it so far), with a couple of months in
Washington, D.C. (very nice, but I couldn't live in D.C. proper--too urban).

Texas made me want to go home, but Washington is starting to feel like
home. We'll be here for a few years, at least.
