I'm gettin' on in years, but I have alot of friends my age, and some younger and older, that we are constantly doing things with. I like the fact that I can get my boat to the water in 20 mins (Gibbons). 40 mins (Somerville)
My commute is 15 minutes. TOTAL. (5 in the morn, 10 in the afternoon) In Hou it was 45 mins ONE WAY...
There are other factors too numerous to mention...
