Where Would You Rather Live?

[Placebo]

I'm a City boy all the way. Though I do love taking little escapes to the country when some serious R&R is needed.

[Alan Smithee]

1. City!

Suburbs are where serial killers come from.

[Deja Q]

4. I thought they came from the rural areas; molesters coming from the 'burbs

:wow:

[Alan Smithee]

7. No, big foreheaded banjo playin' kids are rural.

Serial killers and molesters are suburban.

Cities have their freaks out in the open, for all to see and enjoy.

2. In the Cdn Rockies n/t

[Borgnine]

3. See, I love the aspects of both.

Cities tend to be more cultural centers full of... let's say more enlightened thinkers (I know, I know... there are plenty of intelligent people in the country... I live there too). That said, nothing tops the beauty of the country, especially mountains and wooded land. Cities can be too stressful and congested.

5. Remote tropical Island

[Hosnon]

20. I second that

[cliss]

6. Each has its own good point.

I'm a suburbian; but I do get the urge to go further out. .....but there are some really strange people who live on the fringes of civilization....people who certainly don't fit into the cities. There they are...

I guess it's the best of both for me.

8. Country.

If I ever end up in another long-term relationship, I want to buy a house in the country and live there. I don't think I'd want to be in the boonies by myself right now, but someday, that's what I'm doing.

9. City,no contest,but I'm stuck in the suburbs because

I can't afford downtown Boston.

The country---NEVER!

[realisticphish]

10. small town

like, 2000 people

11. Smallish apartment in the city with a country retreat for weekends

I adore the English countryside, but I also gain so much vitality from being in the centre of London - I just can't make up my mind. The compromise of suburbia is the worst of all worlds (to my mind).

[Placebo]

13. Amen.

Suburbia...

:scared:

[name not needed]

12. City. I hate the suburbs.

Nothin but chain stores and condos.

[Abelman]

14. Hmm

from the main three, maybe city because i could get on well without a car. But I do love the country - maybe if I could grow and hunt and gather my own food.

But I'd rather live in a smallish city with a nice downtown where I can buy all my food and ride a bike and there's a skating rink in winter. A small town feel, that's where it's at.

[Placebo]

15. If you want the small town feel, why live in a city?

:D

[Abelman]

17. I like them, too

I'd prefer to live in a smaller town overall, but I wouldn't mind living in Chicago or something. Public transportation, lots to do, lots of people to meet. There's little microcosms in there you can be a part of and there is a degree of anonymity which is nice, too.

Maybe not a small town, a small city.

[Placebo]

18. Good point.

Chicago is a pretty good sized city. NYC felt huge and crowded, but Chicago feels just about right, and everything is easy to get to.

[Abelman]

19. Plus the el-train rocks!

I've ridden a few times. I'm sure the novelty would wear off very quickly, but it was new to me and I love trains.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

16. Probably a city

or a small town like I live in now. The country would be too lonely and the suburbs would be much too monotonous for my taste.

[n2mark]

21. If I had the money

I would move back to Chicago and live on Sheridan Road facing the lake. There is a lot to do there, great place for biking.
