>When your communities...are full of "entrenched" families/clans—groups of people who, for reasons of proximity or tradition, just won't move no matter how bad things get

This is a really great point, and I am admittedly biased as someone that grew up moving 4 times across state lines. Meeting new people and figuring out the local 'vibe' was part of my upbringing.

Moving is hard, but it's doable. I write this as a much less ambitious person than most seem on HN (and older).
