the pele yoets (Exile) says that our rabbis said that it is a mitzva to live by parents
our Sages also said, “It is incumbent upon a man to live in the city of his fathers”;
it is as difficult for a man to wander from his home as it is for a bird to stray from its nest;
and it is nearly impossible for a man to uproot from his homestead
what are the sources of this (where do the rabbis say this)?
the only source i found was of the middle line mishlai 27.8
כְּצִפּוֹר נוֹדֶדֶת מִן קִנָּהּ כֵּן אִישׁ נוֹדֵד מִמְּקוֹמוֹ:
what are the sources for the rest of his sayings?
the Hebrew of the pele yoets
אמרו רבותינו זכרונם לברכה: מצוה על האדם שידור במקום אבותיו,
וכצפור נודדת מן קנה כן איש נודד ממקומו
ואי אפשר לאדם לעקר דירתו ממכון שבתו
