6. Well, I do hear that a lot of younger people are moving there and I think that's great.

You are correct that I'm not young and my family and friends and even my kids are not in that group. I've travelled extensively either for personal pleasure or business and like I said, I've lived in four different states and, as the saying goes, been there, done that. Younger people are usually attracted to the cities - any city, just because they're young and cities offer them the nightlife they're looking for and the hubbub of the city life. When you get older and have already experienced that, you're more likely to want quiet and nature and open spaces.

Right out of high school I wanted to live in New York City and write for the New York Times, but I had absolutely no plan on how I was going to do that and I wasn't a very adventurous person back then. Now I just laugh at my younger self.
