The right place..
It is quite difficult to explain to parents or relatives that you cannot always stay in the location of their choice. And even when you do end up moving out, you have to keep explaining that it is simply not possible to relocate to their location. This is mostly because the places of opportunity that interest you almost always be outside of your home.
Everytime I go to Kolkata, my grandparents urge me to move back to Kolkata so that I'll be with them. Unfortunately they don't want to move out of Kolkata, so that makes the situation bad. Worse is that my dad is in Chennai and he too doesn't want to move out and I'm stuck in Hyderabad. Everyone has stuck their pole on the map of India and none can move.
It's fascinating that we have not tried to solve the fundamental problem of locational proximity. I'm not talking about communication or transportation abilities (to some extent), but rather the seamless perception of virtually living in a defined region while actually being physically distant. I know there is VR, but have other kind of approaches for this attempted?
