[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your neighbors may be waiting to see if their kids are going to settle there (vs live there for a few years and then move back) before your neighbors decide if they want to move out there too. Or maybe they are content to not live near their kids. Either way it is not weird.[/quote]

Yup my eldest is there for Art School. If youngest goes (9th grader) for college. We will move West. If one on each coast will stay put and visit. After this Pandemic wherever they may go and thrive is good enough for us. [/quote]

I know families that are scattered to all corners and yet are very close emotionally, and I know families who live quite nearby and can barely stand each other.  And, as others have noted, young adult children can live near their parents and maintain as much independence as if they were around the corner.  For us, a silver lining of the pandemic has been having our young adult kids (in college and grad school) home for much of the past year.  One of them will be starting a job in Oregon in the fall, and we would love it if the others chose to go out west as well.  We love the west coast and would gladly move there for at least part of the year. I do think it is easier to visit if you aren't on top of one another and if the visits are more frequent and of shorter duration.        [/quote]
