Find Your Place

How to find where to live? The following web sites will help compare places. I like living in a place next to lots of freshwater, free from most natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanoes, and hurricanes, local agriculture and farm markets, out-of-the-way yet links to the world, high speed Internet, local utilities interested in alternative power, and progressive health care.
