➡ Describing the place as a topic
➡ “Speaking of here, it's quiet.”

Use this when:
* You’re giving general information
* You’re describing the setting
* You’re commenting on the environment

Examples:
* 引っ越したんですか？ “You moved?”
* はい。ここはしずかです。 “Yeah. It’s quiet here.”
* 図書館ってどんなところ？ “What’s the library like?”
* ここはしずかです。 “It’s quiet here.”

は = commentary about a place.

==== ➡ Choosing “here” from among several options ====
➡ “The place that is quiet is here (not there).”

This is identifying a location — not describing it.

Use this when:
* You’re showing someone which place is quiet
* Choosing among multiple rooms or spaces
* Correcting someone
* Directing someone

Example situations:

===== A: どのへやがしずかですか。 =====
“Which room is quiet?”
B: ここがしずかです。
“THIS one is quiet.”

===== A: このへん、にぎやかですね。 =====
“This area is lively, huh?”
B: いいえ、ここがしずかです。
“No — this (specific spot) is quiet.”

===== : =====

が = spotlight on the location.
