No, unfortunately I have been in the same community most of my life. It is good for work because I have a good work reputation and I have a few connections. It's not so good if all your exes are near you and all of their friends, there's no privacy. Someday maybe I can move and start fresh.
I have done it many times. Once I moved away from the beach, nothing else mattered. I have disliked every place I've lived away from the ocean. I really miss riding my bike along the beach every day, listening to the sea life and the fog horn. I miss the relaxed style of living and the sunsets.
