It’s the main question people ask. I know they’re just curious, but honestly, why live anywhere? Why do you live where you live? If it’s pure inertia, maybe that’s not the best reason.
Because I like it. Because it’s arty and I’m kinda arty. Because there are funky cafes everywhere and little hole-in-the-wall bars and street art and you can go out on a Monday night and people are out, not sitting at home watching Paul McDermott make sexually suggestive comments on Good News Week. Because people care about art, books, music and writing. Because they film television shows there. Because there are more people, more things, more variety. Because it’s older, grittier, has more texture. Because it’s closer to the rest of the country. Because you can food shop at 8pm on a Tuesday. Because the market for my skills is bigger and more interesting. Because I can, because I’m 25 have no mortgage, no kids and no debts and why the hell not?
That’s why.
