Part of the issue her is that society, at least in the U.S., has significantly devalued the idea of living close to one's family. Sure, some people don't grow up in economically vibrant areas, but many others move away from family without giving much thought to what they're giving up. |

I don't know how large of a population that really is. I've found many people move away because their family lives in a place that isn't approachable for them to live in. (e.g. Grew up in the bay area but not with well to do parents - just ones that barely got by. They aren't in careers that afford them $2m homes)
And many move away because they despise them and never wish their children to encounter their family.
I really do think many people give plenty of thought about moving away from family in one way or another. It's their family - they lived with them for something like 18 years. Everyone gives that thought.
