Remember LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

Liquor Dealer once posted on why he'd never be interested in living in New York City. It's one of the most densly populated places in the world. But as far as I'm concerned the quality of life that I lead here surpasses what I can get in Montana. I can take public transportation. I can walk to parks, theater, libraries, concerts, restaurants, shops, and museums. I cannot do any of that in Montana.

I grew up in Los Angeles, I went to National Parks all my llife, and I still love to go to them. Places grow because that's what happens. People who like to live in small towns, well that mentality picks up from growing towns and moves further out. In my lifetime, I have watched the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas grow from tumbleweed territory to bumper to bumper traffic of Banana Republic/GAP/Starbucks gentrification.

Back to New York.... back in the 1600's NY was a wilderness area, with streams, mountains, trees, and wildlife. It took a couple hundred years to get it to as crowded as it is today. Some streams still exist underneath the towers of Manhattan, they just run across on concrete conduits. I can tell you that some of the people who lived in New York were responsible for some of the abilities to get into the interiors of the United States easily and profitably.
