    I live in a small town with around 6000 people living in it. Therefore it's very familiar, there's lots of nature and there are corn/crop fields literally only 1 minute away from my house. In that way it's very romantic and beautiful, but nothing really happens around here. I want to live in a bigger town with more culture and such.

    Good thing Denmark is small, though, since no matter where you live you're still gonna be in close proximity to bigger cities and other stuff.

    What do you like about where you live?
    Absolutely Nothing.

    What not?
    Everything.

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city?
    Less emphasis on crap like RnB and Football and chavy soaps being worshipped as gods (Eastenders and Hollyoaks, i'm looking at YOU), but that wont happen because England iis ruled by this garbage.

    Exeter is really nice, nice houses, nice people generally and the shopping here is fab!

    What not?
    Weather sucks and crazy people like to do crazy things sometimes (someone let a nail bomb off in a cafe) and a lot of people here are really snobby.

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city? Only lived in Plymouth or London, dont want ANY of their attributes in my city thanks.

    What do you like about where you live?
    I like small country places now, seeing as I spent 17 years in a large city. It's quieter and the people are generally friendly.

    What not?
    The fact that there is a whole hell of a lot more lawn to mow o.o

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city?
    More things to do, and smaller lawns lol

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    It's a tourist city. This means that there is a large number of cultures, there are so many things to do during tourist season that you'll never in your life find yourself lacking. It's really pretty for a European city. Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street Gardens, etc. make Princes Street the most gorgeous main street I've ever seen in my life. The girls aren't bad. The odd decent hill to walk around/up for when you want to. Incredibly good public transport.

    What not?
    The lack of things to do outdoors when meeting up with friends (outside of tourist season in particular). The lack of sunshine hours. Neds and chavs. Road works.

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city?
    Less of the things I mentioned that I don't like about the city.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    I live in a village, it's very nice really: in the country but only 15 minutes from Glasgow; surrounded by fields and nice walks; it's not that busy; it has a Spar; and my best friend lives about 500 metres away.

    The main reason I don't like where I live is accessibility. The bus here (to Glasgow) runs once an hour between 0630-2230 hours and takes half an hour, or more, to get into town. You can make the same journey in a car in under 15 minutes. Add to the fact that it's £4.60 return (you can get to Edinburgh and back for less) it's just a rip off. Other issues I have is that it'll cost me £15+ to get a taxi home after a night out! And finally the internet here is rubbish! I want to be able to get more than 2mb/s but our old school copper wires et cetera just suck and being a village we're obviously not on the priority list for exchange upgrades.

    As for Glasgow, it's a pretty dire place in most areas but the city centre is nice as is the West End. Some of the nightclubs are just fantastic and shopping is pretty good if you enjoy it.

    I cannot think about what I'd change, I'd probably get rid of all the neds in the city centre and a Friday and Saturday night.

    What do you like about where you live?
    There are trees! Before in wyoming there were no trees. I like being a little ways out of town compare to really far out of town. I also like that i'm away from people (I hate large amounts of people) but it's still only a 40 minute drive to get to a bigger town with a mall and such. The people are super nice!

    What not?
    All the things that i'm allergic too o.o There are a lot of churchy people.

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city?
    Well the town itself I'd like to see it be less run down. There are a bunch of beautiful buildings that are just empty and not taken care of. No one lives in small towns anymore :/

    What do I like about this place? It's quiet, I guess.

    What don't I like? Pretty much everything else.

    What would I like? People who suck less.

    i have a great job, and this place is really interesting, plus the coolness of living so close to the arctic circle.

    What not?
    everything is so expensive. as in: seven! seven dollar foot longs! and the fact that it is already the middle of autumn in late August.

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city?
    tons of stuff but mostly more smart people

    What do you like about where you live?
    Very close to the centre of London. Lots of things to do and see. Lots of transport option. Around lots of people.

    What not?

    Like any other inner London area, its a ghetto. Lots of crime. Rows and rows of housing estates. Plus being white is being in a minority. I walk down the road and I feel like I'm walking through Jamaica. My pale white skin sticks out like a sore thumb.

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city?
    Weather is the only thing I can think of now.

    What do you like about where you live?
    I live in a small village just outside a growing town. My village is beautiful, I like the location I live, and being so close to town has it's advantages.

    What not?
    I'm sick of living with my parents and being told what to do. I loved being independent in college, so coming home is a sickner. Of course, I appreciate having my own bed with a dinner in front of me every evening, but it's driving me nuts. *phew, rant over* Other than that, there simply isn't much to do in my town, and especially not in the village. I was discussing with my girlfriend what we could do this weekend apart from drinking, and we couldn't come up with any creative suggestions other than the cinema or bowling. I enjoy going to a nightclub or a bar, but it's starting to effect my mood during the week because of drinking too much alcohol during a weekend. The weather is crazy also.

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city?
    Things to don't require alcohol, & better weather.

    I supose I should do this in the same fashion as the rest of you.

    What do you like about where you live?
    The fact that I live in one of the few major American cities that aren't completely overrun with left wing or right wing extremists, lots of cheap alcohol and not alot of fat people.

    What not?
    Hipsters, snobs, tourists, bad drivers, lots of crackheads, bad music, old money and subpar weed.

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city? Lenient drug laws like in San Fransisco, friendlier people like in Georgia, less hipsters, less snobs, less people period.

    I live in Corpus Christi, Texas.......

    What do you like about where you live?
    People are pretty friendly (For the most part), there are some things to do and the few things there is to do is clustered in the area, the roadway system makes going places pretty simple, the community college isn't bad, downtown is pretty happenin for a small city, RealmsCon!!!!!!!!!!

    What not?
    The public schools are terribly ran, the middle school kids are some of the worst people you've ever met, People who drive here are ASSHOLES!!, the gay community isn't very exciting, the whole city isn't very rich in culture (the city does attempt to promote them but it really isn't enough), the police are corrupt, the city is poorly ran, no one is at all active, THE HEAT IS UNBEARABLE, no one keeps their home at a decent cool temperature, possibly the lamest malls in existence...

    What aspects from other places you've lived in/visited would you like to see in your city?
    I want to see some more culture and a better mall like in Houston.
