My wife has a hard time believing that the PNW is not a place we should live. Not only is Florida different and weird to her, our families are not nearby which bothers her. It's a common refrain I've heard from refugees.
It's hard to give up a place that you feel is a part of you.
This. My best buddy left for Denver many years ago for work. His parents followed soon after. Basically all his family lives in Colorado, Arizona or Montana now. But... He grew up on the outskirts of Seattle when it was still the Seattle of the nineties/ early 00s. He knows it is a shit hole, but it will always be home to him.

Exactly, it's an entire culture and thought process.
