I'm looking for a good place to move and want your suggestions. Here's my wish list:
- sidewalks
- LDS church within ten miles
- children in the neighborhood
- safe enough that responsible people let their children play outside alone
- reasonably priced
- casual
- no annual anti-Mormon events
- a good library
- higher education located within twenty miles
- no free roaming alligators or huge cockroaches
- low crime
- low community drug use
- a vibrant homeschool community
- mild winters
- normal everyday people walk and bike to their destination sometimes
- political, ethnic and religious diversity
- low unemployment
- neighbors who intend to stay in the area until their children are raised
- not located on a fault line, a floodplain or on the edge of a cliff
There are two or three local communities that fulfill most of desires, but that pesky "reasonably priced" doesn't bend. At all. And those great communities do not come cheaply. If I come into a half million dollars or the ability to pay for a $500,000 mortgage, I'd have it all under control, but so far I haven't and I don't. SO give me a name to match my dream, your favorite "nice places to raise a family."
