What makes a great place to live?

Can it support a mix of ages, incomes and jobs so it can be sustained or over time? Does it include walking, cycling, and public transportation choices in addition to driving? Are its schools outstanding and within walking distance? As it grows and more people come to call it home will nearby farms, ranches and open spaces be protected?
