I admire your will and commitment to insist living there. Personally, I would move somewhere else, in New England preferably. I've been to 13 states and Pensylvania was the one I liked the most, Philadelphia was my kind of city, with New York a second choice. This titan prairie is very demanding from humans, west coast has earthquakes, Mississipi valley the seven plaques of Pharaoh, Miami the tornados and crime, Alaska is too cold, Hawai the volcanos (but I would live there as a third option).
Of course, it's your country, your homeplace, your fatherland. That would explain it.
Awww, it's just plain hard headedness or grit maybe but I won't be run off my land.
On the flipside, I was in Greece for 2 weeks in 1980 and knew right off I could live there forever.
