I try to look at places differently now when I travel. For example, I loved Idaho. Gorgeous country, Boise has a thriving arts community and university, and a rejuvenated downtown. Close to skiing, lakes, activities. Same with Seattle. Was just there in May touring loads of neighborhoods, as my daughter is thinking about relocating. I'm a fair weather bird myself, so snow is a no go for me. That's part of what keeps me in California; that and my family, which I adore and can't seem to live without. But there are affordable places elsewhere, with a slower pace of life, with a great sense of community. Won't find them if you don't look though. I agree.

But they don't, so they don't.
