some do move to town or country... but then many stay putt... Ever try to get someone to move out of Boston or Philadelphia.. ? I can remember recruiting years ago.. they will just not leave the family.. The area.. I left Boston area 35 years ago. I can go back to today and the kids i went to grammer school and high school with are still in the same area... If you try to move some of the people of the Philly area esp. those in South Philly you run up against the same thing... It the sixties and seventies it was mandatory to move to get ahead for a large corp.. In the late seventies they stopped the relocation program because they couldn't get the new kids coming in to relocate to other parts of the country.. Now folks will move if a neighborhood is changing,, crime,, race,, taxes, health. but for the most part after 11 moves around the states i can tell you most of the folks are still in the same neighborhoods we left them in .. As, we stay in touch with them... Sure there are a few who relocated to Fl. North Carolina.. But there are also a lot who relocate back as they miss family, friends and cannot take the Fl. life and get home sick.
