I'm not really big on politics. I tend to be all over the place, but also very open minded to differing opinions and views. I am too young and ignorant politically to be able to label myself as a liberal, conservative, or other. I just have not experiened life enough to be able to see where I tend to fall. What I support one day, I may oppose the next, etc. Unfortunately, it seems most people are solidly (and often also blindly) set one way or another, thus making political discussion about as worthless as discussing religion. But that is another topic for another day...

Regarding smog.. I would list it as a turnoff. I tend to like nature and a natural environment. I enjoy hiking and being outside. I am not a big fan of living in the inner-city, as I've done it my entire life so far. Smog doesn't give me asthma, but I would be reluctant to move to a smog filled area, on the basis that in order for there to be heavy smog, there likely is not a whole lot of nature, but instead lots of factories, urban sprawl, etc.

I consider myself to be more of a "nature person." I don't really enjoy shopping, don't go to bars or clubs, and I truly enjoy just going out and being in nature. There is a state park reasonably close by that I hike at often, and ideally I would be able to move to a place where there would be plenty of opportunities to go outside, perhaps even at multiple parks.

I am not overly fond of the beach or ocean. If given the choice of going to the beach or a hike in the woods, I'd pick the hike every time.

If I were to step outside myself and make a choice, it seems that I am leaning strongly away from LA, and a large city. Realistically, I am not even sure I want to move in with a friend I've known many years now - as ultimately getting away from the people I know is certainly one aspect fueling my desire to move - even though it appears to be one of the top benefits a move to LA has to offer me . However, despite this, I'd really appreciate further feedback.

Even if the decision is already made in my mind, further feedback would help me greatly in determining whether it is also the right decision.
