My family is considering whether we should stay where we are or move to a new place. I am a bit of a nomad in spirit as I love to explore new places, yet I like the stability and simplicity of staying in a same place. What will we do?
As I consider this question, I am thinking about these questions:
- What makes up a good life for my family and me? What do we like to do?
- What kind of space inspires us?
- What kind os life do we want in the next ten years?
In the days and months ahead, we'll play with this question of should we stay or move?
We know that we'll have to make prioritize and make tradeoffs when it comes to our dream list which includes the following elements not necessarily in this order:
- walkability
- water, land
- healthy recreation
- clean spaces large enough to entertain and host family members and friends
- community and safety
- affordability--we want to live within our means
