Default Okay, here's where I want to live:

There is some snow, but not much. Enough to make it Christmasy, but it does't last for months and months.

Summers are not too hot or too humid. Longer springs and autumns, please.

Traffic is light. No cloverleaf or multi-lane highway in my neighborhood.

No tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, poisonous snakes, grizzly bears, active volcanoes, alligators, weekly blizzards, flying waterbugs, mountain lions, scorpions, or packs of wolves.

I'm thinking a small city/large town. I'd like to be able to walk to the Post Office, church, somewhere to pick up a loaf of bread and a jug of milk. Public transportation would be nice.

Low crime rate, and low housing cost would also be a plus.

How am I doing? Do you recognize your neighborhood yet as my "dream home", or do you need more details?

Sounds like a dream. Wouldn't mind living there either.

Too bad we have lots of traffic in our area, and we've had lots of snow. Our springs and autumns are way too short. Definitely not talking about my town.

Can we dream along with you?

I hate to say it but if you found such a place it would be so crowded that in no time you'd be looking for a different kind of perfect.

wolves? nope.
blizzards? nope.
tornadoes? nope.
grizzly bears? nope.
volcanos? nope.
waterbugs? nope!

doin' good so far, right?

ruh roh!

poisonous snakes? got 'em, galore... WORST one is the Fer de Lance, FATAL!
earthquakes - occasional.
hurricanes? TWO Cat 5's last year!
scorpions? FIVE INCH LONG one, on bathroom floor last night!
mountain lions? we have FIVE kinds of wildcats - Ocelots, Jaguarundi, Jaguars, Margays, and Pumas.
alligators? yep, and crocodiles too!

Belize only has a handful of towns in the whole country, and only ONE city.

my post office, church, and store are walking distance from my house.

HUGE vegetable market is 10 min away, on hwy.

public transport? pretty good, and VERY cheap, only $1.50 to go to veggie market!

housing costs? VERY low...

crime rate? VERY low, except in Belize City.

okay, add 'em up...

guess Belize only scores about 50% on the "B2Y Dream Scale"
