How do you decide where you and your partner should live?

Right after Jason and I got engaged, I moved to the Bay Area for a job while Jason stayed in NYC. We were long distance for over 1.5 years, and, during that time, we had a bunch of different discussions about where we wanted to permanently live - NYC, the Bay Area, or possibly, LA. After much debate, I ended up moving back to NYC, and, until the pandemic, we’d both planned to live there long-term. Since the pandemic started and I’ve been working remotely, however, Jason and I have started discussions about whether we’d ever want to move somewhere different.
