Being fed up with NYC is one thing. Telling your wife and kids that you know they have friends and relationships and a school they are used to that they're moving a thousand miles within the next three weeks, and you're sure your kid's best friend or your teenager's boyfriend or your wife's book club will be fantastic penpals is quite another. And that isn't even touching on family ties. I have a friend who moved to Portland recently. Ended up moving back three months later because his very young child couldn't handle not being able to spend time with his grandparents. People develop roots, and do not transplant easily on a timeframe measured in weeks.
