 How did you wind up where you are living Survey

When I travel I sometimes wonder what brought the people to the areas that I am visiting.

In my case my maternal grandparents came to the US by boat arriving in New York City, raised their family and passed away all within a couple of miles from the boat they got off.

So far I have only gotten 60 miles from the boat Smile Must be that security collar on my ankle..just kidding..Or simply that thing called family!

Living in the NY metro area has its benefits and its costs. Used to be there was always significant opportunity for work.. not sure about that now. Certainly is the most ridiculously expensive place to live last months electric bill at 35 cents a kilowatt hr for example because of propane spot prices, expect to pay high property taxes 2% of house value annually.

Right now I would love to move someplace warmer and less costly... but have to wait and see where my kids wind up after college.

Anyway that is why I am stuck here in NJ for better or worse So Sad

I have moved as far as one can get from NY City with still being able to get back and forth if needed, but a dreadful long commute I did for many years 5 hours round trip each day.

The population here is about 250 per square mile. Rural for the countries most densely populated state.

Please share your story of why and how you came to be where you are. I would love to hear about it.
