Randy and I had a long discussion on this subject (not having seen the article you're referencing), in which we realized that we seem to make friends with local merchants and neighbors anywhere we live. Even going out of town to somewhere like Dallas (Arlington and Hurst) or Vancouver BC for a week or so, we manage to find people who are friendly and treat us well.
This led us to the conclusion that home really IS where you choose to make it. If someone isn't happy in place A, moving to place B may be a factor in increasing happiness, but I don't believe it will be a lasting happiness unless the person gotten happier on their own (drugs, therapy, better job, etc.).

It's always something.
