Hmmm ... well the only time I really "moved" or "changed cities" I didn't have a choice in the matter -- I had to take what KC offered ... BUT if it were up to me:
Affordable housing Vibrant arts and music community Excellent hiking/biking trails and a good lake nearby to kayak Warm climate WITHOUT humidity Diverse population that's reflected in its restaurants, shopping, culture, housing Historical significance or interesting historical roots Good university system Liberal politics Volunteer spirit and strong recycling/community development programs Clean I've always thought Austin, TX fit most of that, except maybe the low humidity ... but if you've ever lived thru a St. Louis summer, most anything else can be considered "low humidity" -----Original Message----- From: Deanna Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 12:34 PM To: CF-Community Subject: What you're looking for in a place to live Reading the where to move thread has been interesting. I like checking out all the things that people look for in a place to live. I never would have thought of "amusement park" as being a draw. So, what do you look for in a place to live. Here's my partial (5 minutes of thought) list, in no particular order: Affordable & safe housing on public transportation routes green spaces and lakes can get "out of the city" within a reasonable time, preferably with interesting other places to go liberal-leaning residents safe biking routes good job market multiple triathlon venues within a reasonable distance diverse grocery-shopping options (including local food/food coops/ethnic markets and such) non-chain restaurants At one point in my life, I would have said night life and culture. But, I never go out anymore. But, I should probably add vibrant music scene, cause otherwise I'd be living without my husband, which is not so preferable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
