My top would it be: job opportunities, education, transportation, culture, climate. Jobs it is the main reason for human mobility, not by it self, but when combined with other factors multiplies the chances of migration or relocation of individuals. Education is also important, in this case, from a personal stand, as I moved from home with my parents to live in another city where I could have the chance to study. Transportation it is another key factor, because a easy transportation increasses life quality, especially when we talk about good public transportation, which contributes to equlity. Finally culture and climate are important to increase the marginal satisfaction regardin a city, but by themselves are not enough to influence individuals decisions. 2. Why do we live where we live? Chihuahua, Mexico. I live here because it was a city close to my home town (2:30 hours) where I had the chance to come and study and my parents had a house here, no other reason. 3. To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria? 40 My house it is very distant from my job and regular activities (30 - 45 minutes). The city it is located in the desertic northern region, so it is cold at winter and hot at summer. Public transportation it´s very problematic. 5. What would you change? I would improve public transportation, do reforestation near the city and plant vegetation areas across the city. 6. Why do we move? Job opportunities are not good. The city it´s not as conected internationally speaking, as Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, etc... ![A picture of Chihuahua, Chihuahua.
