How does where you live make you feel?
Specifically, what do you love and not love about where you live?
What would you change about it if you could? Are these things significant or trivial?
When you come back after being away, do you feel like you’re returning home or do you wish home was someplace else?
Does where you live meet your needs now and into the future, or do you feel like your needs would be better met someplace else?
