What factors determine where you live today? What would make you move? PLEASE ALL ANSWERERS!!!?

Question

I am trying to make some tough moving decisions. PLEASE ALL THE ANSWERS I CAN GET!!!! Why do you live where you live and what would make you move?

I have been offered a job in Charleston, SC with the company that I work for and I currently reside in Atlanta, GA

Answer 1

CONGRATULATIONS ON UR JOB OFFER COUS! HMMMM....Well, I live where I live at the moment just because it's all I've ever known! I've never lived anywhere else since I was born, it's always been Chicago! However, I am planning on moving myself in about a year (to Atlanta). I'm moving because I need a change and I want to know what it would be like to live somewhere else! I don't want to get old and realize I never lived anywhere else but Chicago! I'm goin to miss knowing my way around, my immediate family, and "some friends" but I will be fine! Ur situation depends on a couple of things: How comfortable r u living in Atlanta? How much more money is the new job going to give u and if it's worth moving for? Is your "partner" moving too? What about his job in Atlanta? How many "REAL" friends do u have in Atlanta? Could u handle a long distance relationship with those friends? Could u handle being that far from ur family? ALL of those things are things u have to carefully consider.

Answer 2

While this is probably not what your looking for, nevertheless, this is one of the reasons I decided to pick up my roots and move from my home in the San Francisco Bay Area half way around the world to China.

What Pogo Said years ago, “We have met the enemy and it is us.” With that in mind, a quote I heard years ago attributed to an elder statesman, which I’ve never been able to find since, was this, “Eventually we become our enemy.” Individually the same thing, becoming our bosses and parents and doing things we swore we’d never do.

As a country, we are ever so slowly moving in the direction that our bill of rights and constitution is becoming nothing more then words. Where it could be, one day, through the politics of fear, corruption, complacency and apathy that we become exactly what we are fighting.

Negativism, sometimes through religion, has divided this country in ways that I have not seen since Vietnam. Some of that I blame on the talking heads, Michael Savage, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbah. Where facts are embellished to outright lying and making up stuff on the fly.

Where the real failure with the left in getting its message out is the result that liberals are generally smarter and better educated and the right is generally ignorant and less educated, therefore liberals don’t need constant reminders of how screwed up the government and the right needs constant reminders of how screwed up liberals are. Those that are sitting on the fence get swayed by this kind of negativism. Which eventually, through a constant barrage, resulted in Monkey Man being selected then elected, and the millions of sperm Clinton killed resulted in almost getting thrown out of office for telling a lie to protect his family, while the lies that Bush told which resulted in thousands dead is OK. Even if Bush didn’t lie, as some claim, what he did that is unforgivable is when he found out facts that where untrue after he told them, he continued to tell them…….that my friend turns it into a lie. How screwed up is that?

Even at the time when my daughter was eleven years old she understood that.

What we should have at this point is Bush and Cheney thrown out of office and Polosi in as President. Yet I knew when the Democrats won they would roll over dead on the impeachment issue and let Bush run this country further into the ground.

There is a clear message the Democrats and country should be saying is not so much to the country, but rather the world. “Never again.” Then stop the politics of fear and negativism and start working together and with the world, instead of against so much of it.

We need to start that by looking into our own crystal ball and coming up with our own version of China's five year plans. The problem with that is we’re going to have to come to some realizations that powerful people, even the people will certainly oppose.

Then if the planning does become reality it will be thrown into court for the next ten years as we get further behind the 8 ball. In the mean time we’ll continue to supply the world with arms, millions will die and eventually, through all the hate that produced the 911 we went through could very well turn into a tear drop compared to the thousands or possibly millions lost in the subsequent attacks.

There are good and bad points to the American and Chinese system. While China seems to get things done, we seem to muddle along and get ourselves into legal shambles while lawyers line their pockets in never ending litigation to put on hold what needs to be done years, even decades later. All of this while the world warms, the population increases and conflicts are on the rise we argue about abortion.

We have got our vision so unfocused and politics so screwed up that it’s no wonder Pogo is right.

Answer 3

Sweetie. My roots are in a small Illinois towns. I was born about 55 miles from where I live. Nothing would make me leave this county. My Mom and 2 sisters live here and one lives just 17 miles west. We get all four seasons here.We have a great community where freinds and neighbors help and love each other ! Those who have moved away say it is not the same !

Answer 4

I live where I live because it's within 2 hours of my mother, it's 1 mile from the ocean, the price of the house was within my means, it's 20 minutes from my husbands job.
I would certainly move to a nicer house, nicer neighborhood, I'd move if my husband got transfered, if we won the lottery, if my mother died. ( I only really stay in this area because I know if I moved away again she'd be devistated ... I lived in California for several years, and she was in New England, made life very difficult... if she died , or chose to move with me, then I'd have no trouble moving again. ) NO, she wouldn't live WITH me, but close, within 25 minutes would be ideal.

Answer 5

A majority of the time, it's a job or school that make people move. Then again, people like me who want to return home to care for their elderly parents find that just as good a reason. There's also wanting a better school system for your child.
As for FACTORS, weather, economy, housing/rental prices, they can all figure in.

Answer 8

Well, we live her in California because my husband is in the Navy stationed in San Diego. I think it is a beautiful place to live. You have everything here within distance...beaches, mountains, dessert. The only thing negative about it is the cost of living.......very high!!! As long as you have a good career to establish yourself this is the place to be!! :)

I live where I grew up; where the people I know best live; where I know where all the streets and buildings are.
