On the next episode of Municipal Equation.
About 12% of Americans move every year, which is 38,000,000 of us. Most Americans average about 12 moves in a lifetime. So it's something that a lot of us go through often, and yet there's very little information
about it out there. I couldn't find a book in the library that was about moving or about finding the right place for you or anything like that. How do you come to feel at home in a place? There's no larger discussion about it, and I wanted to remedy that. We talked with Melody Wornick, the author of a new book, This Is Where You Belong, The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live. We talked about the psychology of moving from place to place and searching for the perfect town or city to settle down in, if there is such a thing. Sometimes it comes with finding creative ways to build a relationship with your locale. This is also something that local government can tap into. We'll talk about it and the new book on the next episode of Municipal Equation, Equation, brought to you by the North Carolina League of Municipalities. The podcast lives at soundcloud.com/municipalequation, or find us on iTunes or Stitcher or Google Play or whatever your favorite podcast app is. Just look up our name and tell your friends to check us out. My name is Ben Brown. We'll talk to you soon.
