What are the standards of a good location??

[Stompix]

You can't say you want to stay in a New York for example and earn less than $2k dollar a week. You wouldn't have the means to even pay for those kind of locations but if you have the means to stay there, it is worth it.

Maybe $2k a month not a week.
2k a week is over $100k a year, that's close to the NYC average which is way up because of a small fraction of highly paid jobs.
If you're not aiming for Tribeca for example there are plenty of neighborhoods that have a rent on studio close to 2k, that's leaving you 6k for other things a month, more than enough.

A good location essentially consists of having a reliable power source, a stable water supply, an accessible road, security, and an efficient transportation system.

This should be a reminding (for me) how big this world is.
I've changed like 4 homes in the last decade and never once though about power or water...damn!

In today’s world where there are different types of insecurity around what do you think is the standard to consider while looking for a place to settle down with your family???

I do not believe that moving to a standard location will solve the problem of insecurity because insecurity is something that the government can fight in a country but pretend not to do anything about, so there's a chance that the new location you move to won't be safe either. For example, before people used to move to Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, because there was adequate security there, but today, with the number of kidnappings there increasing daily, this is where people believe will be the safest place in Nigeria and today Abuja is no longer safe again.

standard locations can only serve temporarily, so in my opinion I believe that protesting is the best way to address insecurity and force the government to take action.

For most of the world insecurity isn't related to some terrorist organization running amok in some parts of a country!

standard locations can only serve temporarily,

They can do this forever!
There are location even here in my city which are really not safe for a single women at night to go alone, you can encounter a homeless guy, some drunk a few kids that have nothing to do after a beer that to pick on passersby, some desperate junkie willing to rob someone but who could only manage to rob a weak woman and so on. I still wouldn't feel scared even in those neighborhoods, I lived all my life there I wouldn't care, plus I'm well way above average built so just the first look is a deterrent .

On the other side, the neighborhood where I moved can be quotes like extremely safe, there are only locked complexes with security at the gates, individual houses and on the other side a ton of embassies, the chances of even running into something that looks suspicious at 2-3 am are slim to nothing. Robbery? Kidnapping? No, just no! Never heard of one!

Again, different countries and different towns have a different scale on which insecurity is measured.

I believe that moving isn't a needed thing if you with to live peacefully anywhere in the world. Any location is good as long as people who live there aren't harming innocent ones.

If you're living in a place where crime rate is very high and people aren't safe in their homes or they can't buy anything because going outside of their home is dangerous then one should look for another place.

Other than that I believe all places are okay for a good living, but of course if your main priority is to give good education to your next generation then you might need to move your family to a location where literacy rate is high.

When looking for a new place to live, there are several variables to consider. Safety, convenience, infrastructure, location-specific elements, and the general atmosphere can all contribute significantly to a location's success.

Let's dig deeper into each of these aspects.

- Safety: A safe community can provide peace of mind and alleviate stress.

- Convenience: The proximity of amenities such as grocery stores, schools, and public transportation can make daily life easier.

- Infrastructure includes well-kept roads, dependable utilities, and access to high-speed internet. With low crime rates, safety should always be our number one priority.

OP looking for a standard location is not the problem but what you would first hear is are you capable of funding your desired taste of location?

Actually, I have seen an estate here in my country that has a police post which means that security is not a problem there. If they should have such then it means that other amenities needed by the inhabitants of that estate is readily available for them to use.
So therefore, I a standard location should have the following;

Security presence or a police post around the vicinity. Constant power supply within and around the vicinity. Good road network, Nearness to market and lots more of others that fits in for a location to be tagged safe.

Nevertheless, structure I think structure should not be a thing of worry because if other basics are in other, you safety is guaranteed. Although some people would value structure as it shows their personalities and taste but it is not a thing to worry about.

I really agree with the three priorities that must be considered to determine a very good location to live in. When you find a place with components like this it will make you feel at home in that environment, but if there is less than one of these components then it will feel it won't be comfortable and it won't be calm.

For me, if I were to find a good location where I could settle with my family, it is the geographical location if the location is not prone to natural disasters, assessing the neighborhood I want to observe if the neighborhood is peaceful, availability of basic resources so that necessities for everyday living is accessible. We all want our family to be safe and secure from danger so choosing a good location is not easy that is my basis but we have our own ways of finding a good location for settlement.

Actually good location or place of residence brings or guarantees security of life and property so it should be considered as important. In today scenario everyone gives more importance to asset security so living spaces should be comfortable for oneself. As you need to have hospitals, restaurants and shops near your place of residence so that you can get them easily and quickly. Also you should choose based on the economic system of your neighborhood or region. Because the region where the number of manufacturing plants is high, there is economic development.

In today’s world where there are different types of insecurity around what do you think is the standard to consider while looking for a place to settle down with your family???

I'm looking at the crime rate mainly. I would like to be able to live in a neighborhood where I don't have to worry about my house being broken into, my kids or family being shot at, my car being stolen, or children being molested.

If I can keep my family from facing all of that, I feel it is a good place to settle down.

I think that in determining everything, there are always many aspects that need to be considered. As you said, geographical location really supports it as the main thing to think about, and I agree with that.
Apart from that, it is clear whether the surrounding environment is peaceful enough and must be conducive and no less important is that all the needs that are really needed can be accommodated in one environment so that you don't have to go far to fulfill them, such as supermarkets, hospitals, banking, schools, security. Etc.
Indeed, to be able to fulfill all these aspects, you can be sure that it will result in quite expensive prices that must be paid to fulfill them.

There are various standards an individual need to consider before choosing a resident location for himself and his family.

When choosing a location, consider its safety, security, and the economic dynamics, as well as its suitability for you and your family, also consider the type of people living in the area, whether they will have a positive or negative influence on your family.

Consider the distance between the location and essential amenities like schools, hospitals, pharmacies, and markets. Also, evaluate the types and qualities of these institutions, as well as recreation facilities, and assess their accessibility in emergency situations. Also consider the nature of the environment and so on.

Well behaved people around, greenery (it helps a lot with mental well being), a mall in vicinity where one can get daily necessities, bus station/train station near by for commute, electricity/water taken care of, restaurants and hospitals near by for convenience, police station nearby for sense of safety and of course the Internet availability.

I wouldn't want half of those near me:
- mall for groceries and daily needs? No, thank you, mall means traffic a lot of people, a lot of noise,
- a train station nearby? again, noise, traffic, and a lot of shady people
- police station or firefighters or hospital? No, the noise from the cars rushing on patrols would be a nuisance

I lived near the only emergency hospital that had a heliport in the city, I wouldn't want to move in that area even for free.
