I'll be honest and say all those questions in one go over whelmed me at first, First better say I have brain injury A2 and adhd, All Good, These make me comprehend things upside down too often. But they are NOT the obstacles to bettering my lot in life.
How do I know.? Because we often get tree changers / sea changers moving into the area. with out my issues.
Two types. ones that are leaving the cities because they cant deal with people of different colour, dress, and culture. They sold for a fortune in the city and are happy to daydream on the ride mowers till the grass is all dead and the oil wells have run dry.
Then there are the "others' . The ones try to think beyond there own pocket at tax time,
and will vote to better the lot of people and animals, worse off than themselves, even if It means they may have to give a little more.
Even without my impediments, this second group just don't last long at the hands of the bullies and the councils with blind eyes. And greedy real estate agents.
Example 1. I gave a lovely Christmas card to new neighbours, and paid for a survey for them. They told people That the card was a way of me complaining about there kids noise how do I deal with that, don't bother.
Example 2. Took a bottle of wine and welcome card to another new neighbour. who looked at me puzzled, and asked me, what's this for. . . ! He had no Idea that there are actually places where people do things like that for each other
I think you just have to find the right street, town, neighbourhood city, The geographic place you put yourself in is not everything, but it is a large part of weather you will be able to expand, express and belong. There is a chapter in a book about 'rouge houses' They just keep turning over. some towns have a huge turn over rates, count the number of real estate agents in some of them. Find a location with a good vibe first.
Not the whole answer , but a good start.
Do also remember as many people age and aquire wealth, they tend to shift to the right a little, and on the whole most people out here wont budge to make life better for me,
" unless well paid' . AND I DON'T EXPECT THEM TO. . . . Its up to me to find a community thats a better fit for me. And If I cant afford a city centre vista, I'm one bloke that will happily put the farm sale in the bank and swag it in the city park. . ! When I decide I have had enough, its only me that will do . . . whatever it takes.
love your answers, @amber22 @Thyme they delve deeper than I am able, but Its all bankable. tonys moon base one
