Living 6 hours between family and In laws is perfect

My parents may move close to us. I'd love it. Babysitting galore.

"Moving back to Utah" is killing BYU's reputation in several industries

At least people try to leave Utah. Most of the places I've lived, people don't

Wait, really? Curious to hear more. Plenty of BYU grads are not from Utah.

Feelings of nostalgia for my Utah home hang over me like a mid-winter inversion.

Utah is way down on my list. It'll make a decent jump when my parents are dead.

I grew up in Southern California. Can't afford to live there now.

Amen to that. Also, even a ten mile commute would take 45 minutes

It’s bad when a doc can’t afford to move to SoCal.

I would like to move back home if there were careers there that interested me.

I think the concept of "moving home" is very Utah

Definitely not just a Utah thing. Same thing happen in Texas and every other state
