This is something I think about semi-frequently. Not in these specific words, but how in an ideal world I'd love to live a half hour or so away from my parents, and my siblings. This just isn't possible. Not because of jobs, there are quite a few tech jobs in the area now, and if I lived in SLC I'd even have a decently urban life. It isn't possible because my family is scattered to the four winds. Various siblings are all over the world. It also isn't possible because the world has grown so hostile. I'm trans so living near my parents would be at best uncomfortable for me, at worst it would be dangerous, and soon possibly illegal (banning access to hormones, etc).
