I’d like to add something else to that list - the connectedness you feel in a community: the neighbors you grab beer with and help out in a pinch; the cashiers you get to know over time; the people at the after hours sports team or hobbyist community you get to know. Move to a different city (or even across town!) and that takes time to rebuild. It’s why I nearly considered an academic career and decided against it - having to constantly move for grad school, then post doc positions, onwards and onwards regularly never appealed to me.
