When people say they're 'based' somewhere as if they're some.international jet setter.
Yeah, but some people are international jet setters though..? Career, love life and family commitments can mean it's hard for some people to be exactly clear about where they live. I regularly meet such people at least, many of whom are pretty down to earth about it.
I think the phrase can be useful as we move away from asking people "where are you from?", which can have that slight tinge of xenophobia (depending on context).
Better ask "where did you grow up?" and then "where are you based now?"

Just say live if that's what you mean.
