I think we all, in some way, delude ourselves into thinking that our choices will always be the best regardless of what others will say. Pride is a word of meaning that transcends physical characteristics. It is based purely on EMOTIONAL stimuli.
I.E. You bought and own a near multi-million dollar townhouse in the city you love.
Seems pretty self-explanatory...
I've been living in Kamloops for 3 weeks now. I'd have no reservations with living here for good. It's even tempting to look at housing here and see what the long term growth outlook is for the city. Vancouver be damned with those prices.
The point I'm making is there is no 'greatest place on Earth' because the 'greatest place' is what you make of where you live and choices you make in life to either stay or go.
Then again, I'll never be proud of where I live. It's just physical space. I'll move anywhere I can have a better life whether it's through better pay, better access to services, better infrastructure etc.
