What Would Make You Move to a City?

Massive demographic changes and a workplace centered around information technology and advanced skills have employers scratching their heads about where to source and build talent. Small and medium sized employers are especially affected, as they have to compete with larger companies and particularly attractive technology companies.

States and cities are working hard to attract skilled workers and retain their best and brightest. That has us wondering:

When it comes to the community you live in, what makes you stay? What would make you move to another city or state?

Is it reduced taxes? Exceptional healthcare or education? A thriving arts community? Professional sports? Great government? The opportunity to make positive impact? Job opportunities?

We’d like to hear from you. Please reply with your thoughts below.
