Agreed. It sounds like the writer was lonely prior, moved to a new country for some reason, and complained about loneliness. This isn't a dig at the author, though. I've moved all over the US, and my complaints in most cities have to do with things being different than I was accustomed to, rather than strictly worse. And that's pretty close to what the article goes through. I guess I was in search of some dream location, and finally realized such a thing doesn't exist. The grass always seems greener, as they say. But some stubborn folks like us have to learn the hard way.
