Urban or Rural?

[chionos]

I think a lot of people who grow up in town don't even understand how beautiful a clear night sky can be. Right now, I live on the outskirts of a very small community, and even here only the very brightest stars show.

I worked in St. George Utah several years ago and took several night trips into the mountains and the sky was just utterly amazing. Blew my mind. I really miss it.

I've lived in a town of 200 in the middle of nowhere, and I've lived 10 minutes from downtown.

I hate driving in cities.

I love both, honestly. But I guess I'm just more rural. I do appreciate the convenience of having everything you want and need right in front of you, though.

I live in a suburb through and through. It's too big to be considered rural but way too small to be a city. But overall I prefer rural living. I like peace, quiet, and nature.

I live in town but, I wouldn't consider town to be urban.

[Pike]

Yeah same here.

I'm in a town of 30,000 people and I consider it rural.

I wouldn't ever want to go much bigger than that to be quite honest.

[escobert]

wtf 30,000 is a city here!

I live in a town of about 5,000 people and it's a "bigger" town in Vermont xD

Oh it's a city here too, trust me, it's the fourth biggest city in my state.

I like Montana we have an average of seven people per square mile

if your hometown has its own wikipedia page it's too big

mine's mentioned in a subsection of a wikipedia page

now that's some small-town elitism (technically i'm from a "hamlet")

You all can eat my population density elitism

My entire county is less than 30k people.

My entire county is less than 30k people.

My entire state is sub-one million

And my state is three times the size of England

Give me enough public transport that I don't need to drive, give me art galleries and galas, give me graffiti and stadiums, give me festivals, upscale dining, markets, back-alleys, underground music and ridiculously specialized bookstores - and then surround the periphery with stunning scenery and access to the pristine outdoors, including snow, beaches and forests.

Stop making it sound so awesome.

This sounds like where I live except for the beaches thing.

Edit: Okay we only have one stadium.

Urban. I don't drive so rural is just inconvenient for me.

Although to be fair most places I've lived (even London) have a general mixture of urbanness and ruralness. London has some pretty immense and beautiful parks for example.]

I do have a thing for seaside towns though having spent some of my earlier years in Great Yarmouth. Dunno what it is, there's just something about seagulls and sea air that relaxes me.
