It isn't easy as an adult to make new and meaningful connections with others, even if you have a job and some degree of family present in the area with a network lined up that you can tap into.

Nah, cities actually have real differences in culture and those differences affect people's experiences of life in the city. I have moved cities to make a new home six times in my adult life, and two of those times were Vancouver, roughly twenty years apart. Of all the places I've moved to, Vancouver is the least friendly and the most self-involved. There are other places you can move to that will be friendly right off the bat. You don't even need to leave the province or the country to observe that.
