NJ/Philly/NYI or even DC or Boston would have made those possible. Not Columbus, or Nashville or Chicago.
Ugh, no one wants to be THAT close to their family. Close enough to see them more, but not so close that they are dropping in all the time or making you feel guilty if you don't drop in on them all the time.

Being closer still beats being far away. On being close to home, on a scale of 1-10, Calgary is probably a 2 and Columbus a 7. So it isn't Philly or NJ, it is still an improvement for him.
