The honest answer is less romantic than people want. Choose the place that makes Tuesday morning easier, not the place that sounds best online. The city is safe, organized, and family-friendly, but teenagers or city-loving adults may experience that same structure as boredom. The move became better when we stopped comparing the new place to the old one and started building repeatable routines. The first few months were not a fair test. They were setup, loneliness, paperwork, and too many small decisions.
