Does your community share enough of your values? Interesting piece by Ron Lieber on the questions to ask before picking a new town. When it comes time to move to the suburbs, pick a town or settle in a new neighborhood, the checklist generally begins like this: Best school test scores. Most house for the money. Shortest commute. There’s another way to do this, however, that may yield more happiness for less money. Call it a values audit. This checklist includes scouting the drop-off zone at schools, eavesdropping shamelessly, figuring out where people swim in the summer, scanning the community’s bookshelves and pestering the local psychologist. The object is to figure out what a community really stands for and whether you would want to be friends with any of the people who live there.
