Niche User: In the last four years I have lived in eight different cities, within three different states. I have resided within New York, South Carolina and Washington.
Each state I have lived in has varied greatly from the others. Some of these differences are easily identifiable, such as those of government policy and climate. Other differences are hinted at by policy, statistics and well known cultural and religious practices but, beyond these differences there is understanding that can be developed only by living within a particular area and experiencing life in the midst of other residents.

Furthermore, the governmental policies of the area align more closely with my philosophical and political views on achieving true freedom and healthy living for residents through the pursuit environmental, medical and economic practices that work towards these goals. In addition, these policies are fueling growth and diversity within the community which supports a greater variety of cultures, perspectives and lifestyles in which innovation, businesses and prosperity can thrive....
