To live in a better place?
More pay than I got when I was the Eastern Canada service manager for a computer manufacturer, by a significant amount, but I don;t have to supervise anyone.

I don't have to live in the rat race of downtown Toronto.

Um, DUH! It's a university, with the usual perks.

Yeah, I meant provincetown. I'm a dumbass.

We spent a lot of time in Sandwich and my wife was mad because I would chuckle every time a cop car went by with "Sandwich Police" written on the side.

I still laugh about it

Makes me wonder if there are towns called "Fashion" or "Grammar".

35 miles each way - twice the house, half the price. Plus try finding ANYTHING in Seattle with a garage...it's near impossible.
Commute takes about an hour door to door on a "normal" day. as little as 45 min. on an easy day, up to 3 hours on a crap day.
