Just out of curiosity, as another Ohio native who left and sometimes thinks of returning, where did you move back to Ohio from?

I was in Seattle before moving back.

Columbus to Seattle was my journey as well, but I have no intention of going back. What brought you back to Ohio?

A few things, some that are pretty general, and some that are pretty specific to my situation.

1. Family in general plays a large role.

2. I'm able to make stronger financial moves. Property is appreciating relatively quickly in the Columbus area, and purchase-cost-to-rent ratios are better here, from the investor PoV.

3. Full remote means that I'm still able to visit Seattle for the larger mountaineering trips, etc. that I like to take part in while being based out of a lower-CoL area. After several years, I was going to have to start taking flights to new destinations, anyway.

4. Opportunity to give back to the communities that gave me my start.

And some other factors come in, too. Covid definitely reduced my perceived benefit of living in Seattle. Nothing's forever though. It's a two-way door.
