Luckily I do get to work from home, and being in a well established city level suburb of a major city gives me a mostly decent middle ground. We have a decent close by hospital, the food choices I'm usually wanting, and so on. Yet I can still pretty easily head 'in to town' to the major city for the large garden parks, shows, museum, and extra shops. But I can tell within 5 years, I'll have to move another hour out to a cross between it being a distant suburb / farming town... and they are already in the news often enough for their right wing movement and racist happenings. I'm being vague on purpose, but that's how it is. Then I wouldn't make it into the city nearly as often, and the various cuisine choices I and my wife like are almost non-existent. Not to mention that entire town would mask to save a baby seal. sigh And yeah, transit there is the scarcely seen busses. No commuter trains... and I hate busses. Obligatory asdf movie quote, "I like trains..."
