Probably hanging out with the old high school friends, went to VT and has that built in network, etc. Biased opinion, I like New Philadelphia, OH much more than my wife does but that’s just b/c I grew up there and am comfortable there.
And I don’t buy the can’t afford a vacation in NYC comment. I have friends there making $75-80/year and not being restricted in travel. Some people like small towns, some big. Personal choice. For me – my home in OH is just right (for now).
