When trying to decide where the best place is to live, it's a good idea to look at your options and what you think is an ideal location - just for you.
Weather and climate are important factors. When deciding where to live, think about the kind of activities you will be able to do based on the daily weather conditions and the overall climate of a region.
You might also be enticed by the culture and entertainment of a location. Certain lifestyles can be accommodated based on the type of opportunities present in areas that have a well-established culture.
Considering the types of jobs available to you is equally as important, as one skill-set may - or may not - be in high demand.
Perhaps the resources and infrastructure present, such as educational institutions, medical assistance, and public works programs may determine that one area is better for living than another.
Maybe you have safety concerns that need to be addressed to ensure you and your family are protected.
Finally, the spiritual needs of a person also can factor into where you may want to settle down and live.
Whether talking about present-day or ancient times, the same list of concerns and considerations could be utilized to select a permanent residence. Since each of your families has chosen to settle in either Westwood or the Township of Washington, let's #imagine what attracted each of them to this location.
