Yeah, everyone from the Enchanted Forest is living in Storybrooke. There's always the theory that Storybrooke is bigger on the inside.

For me, the question is not where are they, but what the hell are they doing? I get that they might not want to be involved when there's a black fairy or a snow queen doing evil things, but why the hell do they not try to seize power. If I had a chance to change ONE thing from the show, it would be to involve more power struggles between Regina and other royals. I'd have other kings/queens running for Mayor of Storybrooke. Who? It could be anyone. Prince Thomas' father, King Midas, and King Stefan (if he still lives, which I assume he doesn't) seemed power hungry enough. Either of Rapunzel's parents could run too. They could also throw in some who were established to be good/heroes, but who still think they could do things better than Regina, or who might not think the Evil Queen's personal redemption is enough to forgive her crimes, such as Prince Eric, Kathryn Nolan (aka Princess Abigail).

Even non-royals could run, and there could be some tension between the ones who think it should be limited to people who used to be monarchs in the EF. It would be fun to see Dr. Whale campaigning for mayor.
