[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a small town in the Midwest where literally everyone knows everyone's business.  If you aren't used to nosy neighbors, the mindset there can be a bit off-putting for people.  I prefer the diversity in this area and I think it's important for my kids to grow up and be friends with a diverse group of people.  Our neighborhood in MoCo is friendly and diverse.  The biggest draw back in this area is the cost of living.  I agree with PP though it's hard to make/keep friends here because people tend to move back to where they transplanted from when they have kids.

DH works from home permanently and I am for the foreseeable future.  My boss said this could become the norm so this thread caught my eye because DH and I think if we could literally live anywhere and still have the same jobs, would we move?  Our house would sell quickly.  Right now we don't have a clear answer but the option is on the table for us.  Kids are in 3rd, 1st and preschool and not particularly attached to people in their class I think they would give it up to have their own room and a pool in our backyard.  [/quote]

OP. Thank you. I have always loved the people I have met from the Midwest but I could imagine a cultural norm of nosiness could take some getting used to for my California blend of introvert/extrovert. Maybe that will make sense to other Californians here. I wish you luck in your decision.[/quote]
