>or staying in the same small town for your whole life.

I'm living this now. We moved back to have kids near friends and family after college. The judgment I get from people for being a towny is ASTOUNDING. I have to justify the reason for being here and talk about how I've lived in other places for a few years for people to take me seriously. It's ridiculous.

Why shouldn't I bring my experience back to fix the problems in this area? What's the problem with that?

That’s how things used to be and it’s a good spirit. Volunteering and being civically engaged are good for the soul.
