1. My dear mix!
I prefer living close to people. I'm a city girl, thank you very much!

9. I'm torn.
I now live in a small mountain village surrounded by people, which I really like. I love hearing people's voices, their animals, their cars coming and going. I need the country and solitude too, which is easily found here.

But I also really love the city. I have lived in LA and Chicago for extended periods, in apartments mostly. After growing up in the country, it always surprises me how much I love urban life.

I also lived in Fez, Morocco for awhile in the Jewish quarter of the Old City, which is very densely populated. I loved it.

:hi:

2. Far...far...far.
I live in a rural area now for the last 12 and a half years where all the neighbors are at least a quarter mile from door to door in any direction.

I could never live in such close quarters again with people as I did when I lived in a city. It would drive me mad.

4. I enjoy city living, but I prefer living out in the woods where we're at.
Kinda like how I'm all for The People, but I really hate people.

5. Depends on the neighbors.
Right now, I have the world's best and I'm happy having my front door 20 feet or so from their front door. Everyone should be as lucky as I am!
