The place where one lives affects their quality of life. This refers to how the physical location, environment, and community can impact a person's overall well-being and satisfaction with their living conditions.
Imagine your favorite restaurant. If it's located in a beautiful neighborhood with friendly staff and a clean environment, you'll likely have a great dining experience. But if it's in a run-down area with rude service and dirty surroundings, your experience may not be as enjoyable. Similarly, where you live can greatly influence your quality of life.
