Find a community with character - Many communities close to cities are in the process of becoming suburbanized.找到與社區品質接近許多社區正在成為城市郊區化. You will find strip developments of franchise shops and housing plats spilling out over the edge of town.你會發現帶發展專營店和住房樹種洩露出城市的邊緣. These places are losing their character to "Generica" - that mythological location where everything is dominated by mass-market mechandising and you have no idea what state you are in. Further out are other options:這些地方都失去特色"generica"--這一切都是由地方神話傳裝置技術員、市場你不知道你身處的國家正在進一步進行其它選擇:
Older towns that once had wealth - These ex-mining, timber, railroad or oil towns were passed over by the big postwar build-up.老城鎮,曾經財富八佰伴採礦、木材、通過鐵路或石油城由大戰後積聚. During their more recent past theyve lost population to other towns and now have handsome older buildings that are underused.他們更在最近輸給其他城鎮人口,現在已是舊建築物都被英俊. These are the towns that are being discovered first, especially if they are in spectacular natural scenery or have nearby recreational activities.這些都是城鎮,發現第一尤其是在壯觀的自然風光,或就近休閒活動. Some Western mining towns such as Aspen, Colorado have already become fully developed and are too expensive to be considered by most people looking for land.一些西方礦業城鎮,如阿斯科羅拉多州已經成為發達、太貴要考慮大多數人找土地. (If you like mountain towns like this, consider two other places Ive liked. They are three and four notches lower down the development cycle - Leadville and Fairplay, CO.)(如果你喜歡這樣的山城,我喜歡考慮其他兩個名額.他們三、四個缺口降低開發週期萊德維爾合理角度來看,股份有限公司)
Natural resource base communities - These are the towns that werent as blessed or forgotten as the communities above.自然資源基礎的社區-這些城鎮被遺忘或不作為為社區有福以上. Many of these towns have to deal with a kind of rural depression as the old ways of making a living become less viable.許多這些城鎮必須處理作為一種抑鬱農村的舊方法作生活變得不太可行. You will see this in communities with an economic base of timber, fishing, mining and certain types of farming or manufacturing.你們將看到在這個社區的經濟基礎木材、漁業某些類型的農業和採礦或製造業. Dont assume these places are not right for you.不要以為這些地方不適合你. Many such towns are reinventing themselves and are very dynamic places to live.許多城鎮是重塑自己和生活都充滿活力的地方. Bring your imagination though as you will have to look beyond a initial layer of grime — think of it as a "patina".雖然你帶來想像你會有一種超越最初層的污濁--想到它作為"披上".
Recreational or tourist centers - These towns will usually have a definable local character and a large service base to the economy.休閒或旅遊景點-城鎮通常有明確的地方特點,並有大量的經濟基礎服務. Some will have a real heart and others will just be a false front full of seasonal workers.有些人會有真正的心只是一個假象充滿季節工人. If you find one that you like, make sure you get to know some year-round residents and how the community looks through their eyes.如果你找到一個你喜歡讓你結識一些全年居民和社區如何通過他們的眼睛看. When you live here (even seasonally) you will soon be avoiding many of the tourist spots.當你住在這裡(甚至季節性)你很快就會避免許多的旅遊景點.
Whatever the economy, look for communities that are finding creative ways to involve people in the local action.無論經濟、找尋社區,尋找創造性的方式,讓民眾在當地行動. Heres a short list of questions to check out:這裡的短期問題清單檢查:
Where is the life and vitality in this town?那裡是這個城市的生機與活力?
How do the locals feel about newcomers?當地人對新人怎樣?
Are there many different types of people here or is everyone pretty similar?有許多不同類型的人都大同小異,這裡還是?
Is there a defined political character to the place or a set of unwritten community rules?有明確的政治品格地方社區或一套不成文的規則?
How many economic classes are there and how do they get along?經濟類有多少他們要如何相處?
What will this place look like in ten years?什麼樣子在這個地方十年?
What would it be like to grow up here?究竟是否喜歡這裡長大? What would a kid feel like living here?什麼小時候喜歡住在這裡嗎?
The community that is right for you will have a specific mix of comfort and challenge that makes you feel most alive.社會是這樣,你將有具體的搭配,讓你感覺舒適與挑戰多數活著. We all need a place that is welcoming and secure so we can feel connected and safe.我們都需要一個地方就是如此的歡迎,並獲得我們所能感受到連通及安全. Yet, if the place is too perfect or too comfortable, we wont really have anything to do.但是,如果地方過於完美或太舒服,我們不會真的無關. Ask a recent retiree, pure leisure gets old fast.請問最近退休者,純休閒年老快. The community that is right for you will have something you need to do there.社會是這樣,你對你能有所要做.
Once you find the right community, evaluate the infrastructure that youll need.一旦你找到正確的社會評價的基礎,您的需要. This may include schools, libraries, medical and dental facilities, shops & stores, building suppliers, theaters and entertainment.這可能包括學校、圖書館、醫療和牙科設備,商店與商店、建築供應、影劇院和娛樂場所. Also check out the services your home and land with use such as oil, gas, electricity, cable, phone, Internet providers, and legal and business services.也看看你家的服務,如土地使用石油、天然氣、電力、有線電視、電話、因特網服務提供商、法律及商業服務. Get a copy of the local phone book and make a few calls to determine the choices you have.得到一份當地電話及作幾點呼籲書,確定你選擇.
If you need employment in the community, check on opportunities in your field or areas of interest.如果你需要在社區就業,或實地檢查的機會你感興趣的領域. Ask those who are doing similar work how busy they are and who might need skills such as yours.問那些從事類似工作多麼繁忙,他們可能需要的技能,如你 |
