Near family and friends. I'm deeply grateful for the privilege to have traveled all over the world in my teens and twenties (like what used to only be available to the very rich, and in my case was available because a fancy college wanted this poor white rural kid with rare hobbies), and I want that world-expansion for more young people (so that we don't travel so much in older age, and thus have a smaller carbon footprint). I moved around a lot as a child, and have lived in several cities since college, and now that I'm a parent I want to give my child more stability than I got, so they are better-able to grow up and explore out of the nest (I feel like I'm relatively stuck as a teenager, though now that I see it I'm working to grow up). Home is where the heart is, and as I steadily progress towards death, my heart is with other people. Tax-supported, public libraries are helpful for continuing the world-expansion, enhanced by the context of having experienced how similar we humans are to each other around the world.
