My family: all within 180 miles, most within 30.
My wife's family: 7000 miles away

Nice...

My wife's family (mom and two sisters) lives within 5 mins of us. My family all live in the bay area, about 2 hrs away. It's ok for me because I can actually stand my in laws, even though they have a crap load of kids. But for my wife, she gets annoyed pretty often being so close. I'm just the right distance from my family, close enough in case SHTF of just want to do a weekend visit. I have a step son and the court order says we can't move out of county without them going back to court. We're thinking of moving to either the Sac area or SoCal when my step son graduates.

I live near my immediate family (my parents live 2 towns over, and my sister lives just down the block from them)

but not near my extended family... my dad's family is all up in New Hampshire/Quebec and my mom's family is spread out all over the place (my two uncles live on opposite ends of the state, one cousin is in LA, and the other is in Finland)

Every one is too damn close. The farthest family member is only 40 minutes away.

God, I need to get the fuck out of this area soon.

I currently reside in Houston. All my family lives in SoCal, Portland (OR), or Seattle and Puget Sound. My best friends live in the Bay Area, so I'm drawing a compromise and moving to the Bay Area next winter. :)

Houston sucks, jobs or no jobs.

OP there are always reasons not to do something. If you really want the job, take it.
