Notes -
How much of a pay decrement would you take if —
you never have to worry about school quality, healthcare, crime, or drug abuse among your children
the area where you work is beautiful and stress-reducing
you can walk a pleasant street to obtain the necessities of life
the people who you meet daily are kind and have good etiquette
This is pretty much my life already tbh. Our district is literally called "university district" and the demographics are exactly what you would expect, we have a giant park in front of us that is overall very clean and has multiple nice playgrounds, my "commute" is <10 mins (by bike) to my daughter's daycare and <5 mins (by foot) to my work. We live in an historic city with a beautiful old town center that we can visit in less than 30 mins (by bike, again).
The pay admittedly isn't great for our level of education but still far above average and easily enough to get by with a family. There is a minor crime issue, mostly stealing bikes.
