Here is my list in the order of importance for selecting a place to live or retire:
1. Affordability.
2. Climate (clean air, low humidity, moderate all year), e.g., San Diego or any coastal cities in California.
3. Ethnic restaurants and stores.
4. Recreation: parks, mountains, biking and walking trails, creeks, river, beaches.
5. Theaters, libraries, book stores.
6. Mass transit system.
7. Heath care system.
8. Arts, cultural diversity.
9. Job and business opportunities (in case we need to return to work or our daughters - DW wants to be close to the kids).
10. Shopping malls (for DW)
