The focus group participants essentially balanced economic opportunities and lifestyle in selecting a place to live. They were not simply looking for a job - but a place where they could advance their carreer by moving among jobs, and that had a creative economy lifestyle... The participants defined amenities to include:
- Large numbers of visibly active young people
- Easy access to a wide range of outdoor activities
- A vibrant music and performance scene with wide range of live-music opportunities
- A wide range of night-life experiences, including many options without alcohol
- A clean, healthy environment and commitment to preserving natural resources of enjoyment and recreation
- A lifestyle thta is youth-friendly and supportive of diversity
