Where we choose to live can have a huge impact on our life. Living in an unfriendly neighborhood, or one where residents move often, can make it harder to find child-care help or other support. On the other hand, settling in a peaceful rural hamlet may seem like a great way to balance your life—until you realize you can’t make a living with the slow dial-up Internet access. A recent survey tackled the question of what bonds us to the places we live, and its findings suggest (26)the quality of our life is a more influential factor than economists might think. Given a choice, most people don’t care as much about the local economy as they do about the social offerings, physical beauty and openness of a locale, says a recent survey of about 14 000 people in 26 communities by Gallup. Those intangibles—how warm, welcoming and fun a community seems to be—are apparently why people in Miami tend to like it even more than they did last year. Residents of Minneapolis had an above-average regard for their town. (27) Even in hard-pressed Detroit, citizens are liking life a little more than in recent years, perhaps because of better parks, green spaces and recreational opportunities. (28)In my case, living in the Pacific Northwest is a tradeoff (折中). My town of Portland offers wonderful outdoor-sports access, edgy culture and natural beauty. (28) However, as one who has worked in journalism and publishing all my life, I find many of my career contacts are a continent away, in New York.
