For peace of mind. It's worth it

All the time. Especially if and when they can afford to live someplace nicer.🤷🏾‍♀

if i lived in a place that felt unwelcoming or that was filled with people i felt were not the sort i want to be around i absolutely would move and have. Why force yourself into a situation you don't want to be in if you don't absolutely have to be there?

Yes it sure can be. I’ve known some who have done that.

That seems logical to me

Yes it's very true. I never returned to my hometown. Not due to the politics. It's because the people there, especially in my neighborhood were rude, impolite and completely disrespectful. Even the kids I grew up around were obnoxious, mean, and inconsiderate to others.

Damn right especially if they are devaluing the neighborhood and turning it ghetto. I did it. And fortunately for the neighborhood the trouble makers eventually got evicted and the place was saved from becoming an armpit

they do, my cousin was born in the same town but he doesn't want to return ever due to the crowd, the town is mostly right wing to an extreme degree and even when he wouldn't be the person they are against he doesn't feel comfortable.

Sounds like a good reason.

Except she probably will find people she also does not like, in her new town. 😁

Um that's historically one of the BIGGEST reasons why people move lol.

I left the southern US for that reason. I hated being surrounded by churches and Republicans.

You've never been to Barstow.
@Munumbis lolz
Not usually....

Yes. That's one of the major reasons for moving somewhere else.
Yes. One of the main reasons people relocate when they can; they don’t feel comfortable or safe around the neighbors.
Sure, living around people you don’t like can be very uncomfortable.

@OlderSometimesWiser but when everything else is just fine ,isn’t it some rash decision?
@Spacesbetweenus Everything can’t be just fine when you’re surrounded by people you don’t like.

For example, I’m Jewish. If I live in an area where there’s a lot of anti-semitism, I’m getting the heck out of there. Same if there are very vocal Trump supporters. I find the set of values necessary to support a morally bankrupt malignant narcissist to be abhorrent.

There has to be a sense of ease and comfort about where you live and the people who surround you as you go about your everyday life.

It's not just logical but also extremely common. 😅 Why do you think young people move out of small towns and villages they grew up in to bigger cities? It's not just economy, it's often conservative, small-minded mindset of the locals. Some people move countries because of it too.

@jshm2 What if all other factors are convenient??
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Yes, why would you stay somewhere that you don't like or feel at home in?
twistedrope · 26-30, M
Yeah. If every crowd you encounter in your town makes you feel unwelcome or just can't blossom into a real friendship or a dependable relationship, there is really no reason to stay.

Some do. People that don't have bonds there.
Birdbox1986 · 31-35, F
No,she has issues

I once had a colleague who told people loudly and often that she was leaving town because it was “too white”.

Suffice to say nothing went in her leaving collection. And her leaving party was a meal for just one.
