Well, the expensive places are usually the crowded places. They're expensive because they're popular. Cheap places are usually cheap because nobody wants to live there.

And you don't strike me as the type that wants to live someplace crowded...
you are correct

I like people only a little more than you

1. Weather
2a. Taxes 
2b. Cost of living
2c. Cost of real estate
5. Proximity to "cultural stuff"
4. Proximity to restaurants, bars, etc.
6. Low traffic (reallyl ability to walk instead of drive, probably a higher figure for me)
8.Proximity to the beach, or mountains, or desert, or your football team
2d. Safety (crime)
NA. Special amenties (like having a horse barn, or lake for your boat, or golf, your hobby in effect)
3. Long term stability (ability to live there until you are really feeble)
9. Health care proximity


Having a place conducive to walking was high on our list, it's good for older folks.

living in a small rural town nearly my entire 58 years, my expectations for "cultural stuff", restaurants, bars, the beach, or mountains, or desert, or your football team is not high.

being able to drive a few minutes to two or 3 bars/restaurants is enough

being close to a decent golf course is important.  Hopefully the clubhouse has a decent kitchen with some options for a meal.

I don't mind cooking for myself.  I save money eating out only once or twice a week.

Long term stability and Health care proximity are important

Being happy with what you have is a blessing.

Wishing you had what someone else has is a curse.

You'd be a rubbish advertising exec.

Quite a bit of advertising is just keeping your product up in everyone's face.  Why advertise a product like Coca Cola?  Everyone knows what it is.  But if you didn't, it's sales would languish, seriously, even so.  So, they make touchy feely commercials, often as not, they could almost as well just repeat "COKE COKE COKE!!!".

Remember all the barn roofs in the south saying "SEE ROCK CITY"?

Heh, I first heard that chant in 1980 after UGA beat Tennessee, in the locker room.

I don't think fans did it back then, much anyway.
