[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are already living in sd, I’d say it depends if you have good community for your family. If you do, I would not move to dc/nova to start over socially, even though nova is nice. Dc/nova are much more transient, and it can be hard to build a village or deep friendships. Not impossible, but there are things stacked against it happening. Like if you have family on the west coast and friends where you are, I would not give that up to come to nova.

-pov is someone who lived in la for 6 yrs and still misses my old community/family there. Have made new friends and started a family in nova, and it’s fine but I made do bc I had to come out here for work. That said, the wildfires are real (though is sd at big risk?) so we are staying here instead of moving to Cali. We have a great church community here, and have been there for 15+ yrs, which has helped a lot. [/quote]

First Responding Poster back to piggy back off this one a bit to say having grown up here, I think because the area is so transient, there is a huge number of people who feel like they are the new one.  The one not "in" the group.  Not the one who "should" start the class group chat.  Which can leave a lot of places without someone taking up that role.  So if you are new and you feel like you don't have a group, don't be afraid to whip out your phone ask for a number and offer to start the kindergarten group chat.  Most people are just waiting for someone else to do it. [/quote]
