It intrigues but doesn't surprise me that most comments are "here's why this is hard/not possible/unfeasible". I think that part is obvious, the reason this article needs to be said is because it makes a significant difference. Prioritize it higher. That won't make the difficulties going away, but as you might prioritize being close to your work, a school for your children, other activities, being close to friends or community is important. I've done both, living alone for long periods of time and living with community houses (which weren't really friends) and living near to close friends. Living nearby to close friends has been vastly more rewarding than any other option.
