when I was in my teens, I wanted nothing more than to move into NYC... but as I've gotten older, I find myself appreciating the suburbs more.

at this point, you'd have to pay me a hefty penny to move into Manhattan. the last straw was a couple summers ago, when I was meeting a guy at a bar for a date. after having a couple drinks, we decided to walk around the city together, but it was garbage night and we found ourselves having to dodge all the rats that were darting out into the sidewalk to get from apartment buildings to the garbage cans. :eek:

I'm not a rural guy, but I love the happy medium where I can have a backyard for a dog to run around in, have space to grow a garden, but still be close enough that I can get into the city without much effort if I want to catch a concert, Broadway show, or have a fancy date night.
 
I hate the suburbs, I want to live either in the big city or in the deep countryside. To my mind the Dutch suburbs of the 2010s combine the worst of both worlds; nothing to do yet still completely unaffordable and also not enough room to park your car.
I'd rather live underneath a fence in Madrid, than in a house in Hoofddorp (a suburb of Amsterdam), and have...
 
i grew up around both environments. i would say that if you put me in somewhere like new york or out in the sticks, i would be able to blend in and manage like it's no big deal. :lol: one issue that i do think is most important is the people within an area. that makes a huge difference if anything. i would rather live in a city in new york, connecticut, pennsylvania or elsewhere than in new jersey. jersey pretty much has some miserable, angry, bitter, hostile, nosey ass people in it which pretty much affects the way this place is, plus with the environment, it makes it worse. whether you go to the suburbs or city, you're guaranteed to find an asshole that will make you want to beat their ass. that's why when i go to other places and cities in other states, i realize how ass backwards this place is or how fucked up this place has made me. :##: i can go to pennsylvania and new york where nobody bothers me or is up in my business, where i can be left alone in peace but i damn sure can't do the same thing in new jersey. NO.
 
If it weren't for the ease of access to music, good unique food and people I could actually hang with, I'd stay in the country or suburbia.
 
Rats? That's it?

Out of the city, you have to deal with: Rats, mice, squirrels, raccoons, opossum, skunks, Coyotes, cougars, deer, bears, bees, ants, wasp, snakes, scorpions...

You got it good.
 
Cape Town sprawls for miles, and our CBD has decentralised into the suburbs several times over the years, meaning there are numerous pockets of busy "urban" activity in every direction. As it is, I live only a 15 minute drive from the official CBD, and at most about 20 minutes from (almost) anywhere on the 021 area code. Although I am definitely out in the 'burbs, it's still really close to everywhere.

I'm happy to be in the suburbs, provided it's the suburbs of a major (1 million plus) metropolis.

-d-
 
I'm pretty much a suburban guy now. When I was younger I liked the city but now I have little patience for it.

I dunno... outside of episodes of Hoarders, I don't think I've ever seen more rats than I've seen just walking down the street on garbage night in NYC.

squirrels, deer, etc don't really bother me since they're purely outdoors. I don't mind sharing the outdoors with wild animals, but I don't want to have to share my kitchen with rats (especially in an apartment complex where you can't control how dirty your neighbors may be)
 
I grew up in a small town (it was still a village until I hit my teens). When I moved away, the population was 1,500. Peterborough has about 60,000 people, but it's spread out, not up. It's an old city. Most of the buildings in the downtown core are 2 and 3 stories tall and built in the 1800s. The apartment I used to live in a few years ago was a stage coach hotel.

That's a good start. :=D:

Im very green myself- I love to be surrounded by nature..therefore I consider myself uber-urbanist ^^
 
I love the big city............I lived in a small town for a year and I was miserable.

all I have to do now is walk across the bloor street viaduct and I'm in the gay village.

life is good.
 
I like city/suburb hybrids--like Evanston or Oak Park outside of Chicago. They're suburban, but you don't necessarily need a car to live in them. Plus, they have enough to do in terms of cultural attractions (to me, anyway). I wouldn't mind settling down in one of those towns. Not Chicago proper, though (uh, hell no...).

On night check out the drive through window of your local fast food joint in the suburbs and park in the back while you eat your burger watching the dumpster area. You find that rats are very prolific and common in the burbs just like the City. EWWW YUK.
 
Not urban at all. I grew up here in the mountains, and that's where I want to die.
 
I love the city but also love the rural countryside---splitting my time is ideal as I can get bored with too much of either.
 
I grew up in the burbs and I've grown to despise them..:(

However, I'm not all that sold on the urban thing either. I'd much prefer an older neighborhood that has progressive young professionals and NO children. I love the city life, but I don't care to live within it...
