Safety - Job Opportunities - Recreation Possibilities – Transportation - Infrastructure **Why do we live where we live?** I live in a suburban town in Buenos Aires. The reasons why I live here: I was born in this town and got used to living here. All my friends and all the things I normally do are in this town. I find it a very peaceful place to live. It is full of trees so the air is nicer and I can hear birds sing all the time. I don’t mind long commutes because when I get home I enjoy the tranquility of the town. ![][1] ![][2] **To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria?** Safety 65 - Job Opportunities 60 - Recreation Possibilities 90 - Transportation 80 - Infrastructure 65. In average, I can say that the livability score for my town is 70. **What would you change?** Some of the things that I would change, or add, is a bicycle network. Despite it is a very small town and has a well-connected transport system to get to the city downtown, the transport within the town can be enhanced if we used a bicycle network so that the use of cars can be reduced. **Why do we move?** Dublin – Ireland: I visited this city a few years ago and found that it was very similar to the place that I live in now. It has a lot of parks and areas of recreation, and that makes the daily life happier. People are very friendly. You can’t perceive it as a stressful environment. It seemed to be a very safe place. It has a lot of cultural events available. London – UK: The Transport system is well-connected. It has an amazing cultural environment. Despite what most people say, I enjoy the climate. It is a very safe place. Everything always works. San Francisco – USA: I like its transport system. I has a good cultural environment. It seems to be a quiet place. The landscape is beautiful. It seems to have many recreation possibilities. [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14573203493551482.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14573203809668016.jpg
