Same here (home is Bay Area).

Except I moved to Utah and Utah wasn't my "home"

We’re 3 hours away and any closer and I would shoot myself

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

To say nothing of how much they can bless the church members outside of Utah

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

I think 80%+ is trying to keep the wife happy, bad marriage imo when that's

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

My grandma told all if her kids "if you leave Utah after graduation, don't come

Yup. Although Utah* would be in my top 5 places to live.

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 love where I grew up but I was happy to establish family in CA, 12 hrs away

No desire to move back where I grew up (PA)

I was born there but moved before I was 2.

Moved a lot growing up and didn’t have a “home” to return to

I've felt each way about it at different junctures of life.

If you had a good childhood and enjoy being around your family then it makes

There's not many jobs where I grew up (central coast of CA). I'd

Living 6 hours between family and In laws is perfect

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

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

I could never leave NC for Utah

Lived in W-S for 4 years. Love NC. One of the best states in the USA.

My folks moved back "home" after retirement. Utah never was home

Born2Fish

12/14/17 7:50pm

My parents retired to Utah, and now they spend all their effort and money

My folks moved from Utah after they married in the 60s, I believe

Born2Fish

I’ve never had the slightest desire to live in Utah. It’s a nice place to visit

I've never had the slightest desire to live in Idaho. But then again, I didn't

Great place to go to school. Minimal desire to settle down there.

I really enjoy rural Utah, but couldn’t do Utah county.

Living close to extended family is over rated.

Kerbouchard

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

coolcats

I knew more families that lived in the same neighborhood/street outside of Utah

fattycoug

12/14/17 9:13pm

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

There is something about raising your family outside of the comfort of home
