Interesting topic. We’re seriously considering moving to TV and when discussing it with long time friends they said (rather incredulously) “what will you DO…just make NEW friends?!” to which we replied, “well…yes”. I think its harder for some to make new friends than others and people feel a sense of loss about friends moving away. Couple that with any “native” guilt trips (e.g., you’re somehow a traitor for “abandoning” your native State) and its an emotional topic for sure. I was surprised by our friends reaction.
