Glad this poll allowed multiple choices. I'm a long-time transplant (27 years). Moved here just before I started my freshman year of highschool. I selected natural beauty, people, and low cost of living as my reasons for loving it here. But the people of Kentucky are probably the main reason.
I've lived in Europe and spent substantial time in many different regions of this country, but I've found no other place where I've seen the concept of "live and let live" practiced more freely. Just about everywhere I've lived in this state, my neighbors have been...well, neighborly--not judgemental, not preoccupied with status, and not pretentious. I'm confident others have had just the opposite experience, because pretentious, boorish types are everywhere. I just think Kentucky has a much lower concentration of them than most other places, and I've been fortunate to be able to avoid them.
The fact that I also enjoy bourbon, college basketball, and shooting stuff probably figures into this somehow.
I moved home to Kentucky after college, because my whole extended family was there. 19 years later I looked up and noticed they were all gone and that my opportunities would be better elsewhere... actually in LA where my family kept moving. So now we've moved to LA where the whole extended family is beginning to be, and plenty of opportunities for work, etc.
I was born here and have lived in Lexington my entire life. I'm ready for a change however. It's nice here, but I need a larger city than Lexington or Louisville.

You can move to a larger city and in a few years, you will be saying the same thing. That is human nature. We always want bigger and better.
I'm like the late Joe Creason of the Louisville Courier-Journal said once. Somebody asked if he had lived in Kentucky all his life. His reply, "Not yet!"
I love it here in Kentucky. Visited other places but always good to get home! love the small town life, the friendly people, the scenery.
