That's a bad cab driver!

My family runs a home based business so we don't have to locate based on occupation. This is why I have looked at so many different areas. We simply want a safe, friendly, pleasant environment for our children to grow up in. My entire family is from NYC, and none have moved further then Long Island or New Jersey. We feel its time that someone in the family breaks this trend and spreads its roots in a better place for future generations. This highly congested, high pollution, high stress, business first lifestyle in my opinion is just not a healthy place to raise a family. Education is very important to us, and the school systems in most areas are excellent which was a big plus. The “problem” is there are so many beautiful places to live that it makes this decision very difficult.
