Who, anyway, are these people who move to places on the basis that they fancy living there, as opposed to having to move to that general area for work?
The vox pops are a bit of a giveaway: "there's a limited number of things to do" ... "the best thing is that we're close to Liverpool and Manchester" ... "you don't have to go as far as Snowdon" ... "The best thing about Wrexham is its vicinity to Chester". Presumably these were the best ones the Guardian could get.

It struck me the other day that there's hardly anywhere in Wales (where people actually live) that I can't claim some kind of family connection with. I guess this is the one for D^2.
