Ojalá que no viviera en Burry Port, preferiría otro lugar.

It's nice to get thank you's as below. Here's a bonus: Strong desires are expressed with "ojala" because the roots come from "I wish to God". Otherwise you can say "deseo or prefiero". It is followed by the subjunctive tense, in this case imperfect subjunctive.

What's wrong with the Welsh town of Burry Port? anyway because you are born in a place it doesn't mean you have to stay there, just point yourself in the direction of where you want to be and go for it.
