QotD: how I ended up here
Why do you live where you live?
Submitted by memtony.
There aren’t many cities in which I can be me, not the me in the newspapers and magazines, but regular me. Wellington has the quietness I want, it’s a relatively cheap place to live, and I don’t sense that busy-ness that other cities have.
The only other places under consideration would be Stockholm, Göteborg, San Francisco and my old home town, Hong Kong. But I get more envious looks when people figure out that I live on a Pacific island.

I grew up in a Los Angeles suburb in the 1950’s- 60’s. I really love the weather there as it’s so pleasant to engage in outdoor activities. Then in 1987 I moved my family to Tucson which is hot 8 months of the year. I moved back to L.A. in 2000 and worked there for 5 years. It is an exciting place to live and realized that it was still “my home town” and always will be. But the real estate inflation made my head spin and after my parents passed away I returned to Tucson.
