Our society would need to re-think its norms around moving away in order to move upward, which runs into some pretty big philosophical ideas around geography, culture, and values. For technologists, this cultural movement is still in a bit of a philosophical stage, but it's starting to make its way into some early experiments. https://www.plurality.net/ https://www.plurality.net/ is probably the best written work on it so far.

We moved to be closer to family (both sets of parents had coincidentally had relocated to the same area of the country late in life, but before we met). The choice between friends vs family complicates my situation. Love my family, but it's not the same as having peers in a similar stage of life.
