In my case, as soon as I could I left the US where standards in my particular community were sinking and moved to a smallish kiruv community where people are growing instead of falling.

I can’t stay here “full time” for personal reasons and lack of basic infrastructure so I plan to establish residence in a smaller community in E”Y where I also know that I have to be an example, while continuing to maintain a business and personal presence here.

I am not knocking people who stay in large communities like Brooklyn or Monsey, especially because unlike most of you I have no frum family keeping me anywhere, but at least for me being in a place where dressing as I do means that I really stand out and therefore have to strive to be the same inside as outside and where the nearest milchig kosher pizza is a plane ride to E”Y (or perhaps Vienna) away is a great way of making sure I am “a trend setter in avoidas Hashem”.
