Why do people chose one city over another?

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

One of the things that came out of the Visionary Alignment for Lakewood,was the catch
phrase from the 2008 Election, "Safe, Clean, Fun." And that if we could get the city to
master "safe and clean" the fun could be carried by the residents and businesses. That
most people like to live and sleep in a place that is safe and clean.

So let's get a list of what people want and see where Lakewood fits.

You are indeed correct. In the book "Slaughter of Cities" and if you grew up Irish like
you and I in the 50s and 60s, we remember when it was our turn. "Those shanty Irish."



Now that we realize why people move, now maybe we cna get back on topic.
