for work or for family reasons maybe? and it doesn't have to be a recent move either, he could've been there for a few years or something. might make it easier to come up with lines with other people in the comm unless you want him to be a fresh face on the west coast. either way, i think it would be funny if he showed up at the cafe geno works at one day and it's like an oh shit what are you doing here kind of moment lmao
