I suspect a lot of folks who regret the move here, due to the various financial and emotional cost of moving back, bite the bullet and try to make the best of the move.

I agree with you except for one statement - unless your old home was in San Francisco or another area like that, the homes up north have not appreciated as much or as consistently in TV. This of course is assuming you bought a typical house in either place without some special circumstance and took good care of it.
Why anyone would want to move back to the snow is beyond me. I would add that 95 degree days in Wisconsin are WAY worse than in TV - no rain or breeze like you get down there, and August and early September can have a lot of that. I have spent a lot of time in August in TV, and I would take it over Wisconsin any day.
The other thing I have read is people wanting to move back to the city. Not sure what they are missing unless it is the Crime, High taxes, and Traffic......
