Where would you like to live most of all and why?

I don’t know that I can pick one place off the top of my head that I would like to live.

There are many factors that would go into making a place my favorite place to live. Although one qualifier might be met and be ideal in a certain place, some of the other factors might rule that place out. For example: Weather is a great factor to think about when choosing where to live. A place that I can think of that has a moderate climate and would be ideal to live in is San Diego, California. San Diego has an average temperature of around 70 degrees. That would be perfect for me. But…there are a lot of reasons not to live in San Diego as well. Some of those reasons include: high cost of living, high taxes, the liberal orientation of the State of California, etc.

Instead of choosing a place to live based on a factor like weather, there are factors that are more important to me that would make me happy living anywhere. Some of those are: close proximity to family members (immediate and extended), if not close to family close to an airport so we could visit family and be visited often, a place where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is strong or has strong members, a place that has good job opportunities, a place that has fun things to do, and a place that is safe.

 Some things that I would love in a place to live are: a lot of land with a good mix of lawn and trees, maybe some forested area, a small river or stream close by, a pool, a nice looking house on the outside and a well-organized and neatly laid out inside, racquetball/basketball courts (this is a dream), somewhere near busy roads and highway access but tucked away to allow a quiet life and slow pace, somewhere near a major city but not too close (like a suburb or out in the country ½ hour-2 hours away from the city), a good community, good neighbors, a nice driveway with a roundabout, a separate garage, etc.
