Danny...every area has its 'problems'!
We have people who live in areas prone to flooding, it floods and they get wet and turn right around and rebuild and go on.
My daughter lives in Littleton, CO and has a fairly steep driveway, got tired of shoveling snow so put a radiant heating system in when they replaced the driveway.
Folks in FL live with hurricane threats and lots of bugs and crawly critters. My cousin lives in Midland, TX and puts up with heat, constant wind and dust.
We live where we love to live!
AND we have the Cardinals, a world class zoo that is FREE to visit, FOUR seasons to the year, but most important we have very deep ROOTS!
