I really wish at least one of my parents could stay in one of the places I've lived instead of moving around themselves. :-( I'm jealous of folks who get to go 'home' to see family.

New Orleans. I never thought of New Hampshire as home, which caused my mother much stress (my father understood; he'd moved to New England from Alabama but stayed mostly because he never got around to moving, and because he spent so much time on business trips that it didn't make as much difference what it said on his return ticket) -- when I moved to Massachusetts, I realized it was pretty much the same.
When I miss New England, I miss it the way I miss Texas and Colorado and Virginia, places I happen to have been and that had cool things I haven't found elsewhere.
In particular, home is/was my last apartment in New Orleans, and the neighborhood (Gentilly) it was in -- central enough to necessities (grocery shopping, pharmacies, bus route, etc) but far removed from most of the apartment districts. Lots of wrought iron, honeysuckles, broken fountains, fried chicken, Creole Chinese soul food, cemeteries, shoe stores, and guys selling mix tapes from wheeled suitcases.

I want to travel, but I don't wanna leave my current residence. I'm just so used to it.
There's a lot of Orientals, overpriced apartments and houses, and four movie theaters. No "cities". A lot of nice beaches (of course). One big books and music store. And...other stuff that I can't think of.

Always timeless: Hove. < / Jay-Z >
I think Brighton&Hove has been my only real 'home'. But I have a place in my heart for York too, where I lived for the second longest stretch of time after here.
