It's better here
Wherever here is.For us, it is the Fairfield neighbourhood. We have been planning to finish our basement so that Dan's parents can move in with us. We have also been looking at selling this house and buying another that would do the trick without the hassle and risk of a major renovation.
What holds us back from moving is that we love our house and we really love the neighbourhood. Really, it's the neighbours. They're great.
Giving them up seems like a much bigger risk than renovating 60 year-old plumbing!
Seems that we are not alone in thinking this way, though. According to a study (Toth, Brown, and Xu 2002) published in "The Hundred Simple Secrets of Happy Families":
People who are highly satisfied with their neighborhood are 25% more likely to be highly satisfied with their family life.Now it could be that happy families beget better neighbors, too. Either way, we don't want to mess with success.
Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
