Would like a smaller town, but not too far form a city. It has to be safe, no flooding or fires.
1) Within a hundred and fifty miles of a major metro (but no closer).
2) A population no greater than 25K
3) A thriving interest in the humanities/fine arts
4) A balanced ratio of jobs to labor force
5) Civic-minded and friendly citizens.
6) A libertarian or Christian libertarian ethos.
