I was born in Cincinnati and I've lived most of my life here, but I have also lived in three other states.
I couldn't wait when I was young to get out and live other places, after living other places it did give me a better appreciation of home.
Cincinnati is far from perfect, but all cities have problems. So I think it's hard to escape all the issues.
My main reason for wanting to live somewhere else is, I would love to live somewhere that has a view of mountains and water!
