Question for you all, do you all have a hometown? Don't dox yourselves, naturally, but... Do you have an area, a place, you call home? A place you feel at peace, that you belong? I am finally there. It has been rough in America, watching places turn to shit, get built up and overrun. Moving multiple times for work, while trying to remain connected to friends and family. Just wanted to hear your stories, however much you are willing to share. I have been curious about us dissident types, how many of us are lost to the wind. I thought I found my home in Boise years ago, but now here I am in Eastern WA content as can be.

Kansas for me.
I do still like mine, yes. It is big enough to have things to do, places to go, and options for shopping needs. But still small enough to have a tightknit community, low crime, and people looking out for and taking care of each other. Apparently around 50k people is the magic number in that regard.
You need a low transient population, too. A small town where everyone moves in for work, stays two years, then moves on is terrible. No one has any attachment to the community and they are just holding their breath until they get back to the world.
Stable communities, stable relationships and generational investment makes things better.
