In reply to the discussion: How often do you daydream about moving elsewhere? [View all]True Dough

A few crappy neighbors can ruin it for everyone. My wife and I are blessed to live in a neighborhood of mostly great people and the ones who aren't don't cause us any grief.
But what does have us a bit concerned is our immediate neighbors on one side (again, nice folks) are aging, and what if we wind up with some sort of riff-raff moving in that could change the complexion of life in this subdivision for us? Fingers crossed that doesn't happen down the road.
So wherever you might move, it would be ideal to have a lot of insight from people there as to how things are on a regular basis. Or if you can drive around and get a sense of what it's like at any given time, including at night, it could help you avoid another headache.

Love where I live; hourly wish my MAGA neighbors would move to a different planet.

I've lived in this place for 30 years and I love it, and I hate moving. Just about killed me last time.

I didn't see the grass as greener, but am moving so my sister can have my house & we'll be near each other.

I'm swimming in the soup of humanity from all over the world; I fit in with them and deal with them daily in my job.
