What Area Do You Live In?
 

Burbs, Cities or Rural. Sure, i'll give you an 'other' option as well.

Me, I'm a country boy. :D

Since I'm back in my parents' house.... Me, too.

Suburbs. Dear sweet suburbia with the darling little children playing football in the middle of the road, the little corner grocery shop and everyone knowing everyone else.

No white picket fences though. We don't do that sort of thing in the UK. :D

Used to live in SF but moved to its suburbs because of the commute.

Live nearly across the street from Cambridge City Hall. I love city living. Being close to cool restaurants and museums and funky little grocery stores.

My country is so small that there's no suburbs or rural area to speak of. :\

I live in the suburbs. It's not too far from the rural, though. It's probably my favorite type of place to live. It's quiet, safe, and has nice scenery. There's also little light pollution so you can see a whole lot of stars.

I live in a city. A city that is large enough to suck a great deal, but too small to be exciting/interesting. :P I grew up in another city which had pretty much the same problem.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I live in the city/suburb kind of hybrid, I don't think this place could be called exactly a suburb.

Though lately I've had this urge to move to somewhere else in Vaasa.

Suburbs. White picket fence, golden retriever and all that. http://www.ttlg.com/forums/images/smilies/shake.gif

I think I know what you mean, because I'm also living in a place like that. I voted city though, because it feels more like that.
Since I don't live in a very big town (170 000) compared to what you people have in the US for example, I live quite close to the city heart and at the same time quite close to nature. I was out walking with my sis the other day and was amazed as to how close nature really is. Only 1-1,5 kilometers and we were out on the country side with horses and stuff.

Everytime I read this, I start singing Thank God I'm A Country Boy in my head! :crazy: :D

My situation is like Kolzig. I live in a city/suburb. Plus, I'm about 10 minutes from Dallas or Addison or anywhere else I want to go for nightlife and such. 15-20 miles or so from lakes if I want watersports (ThriftStoreScott mentioned that when he flew over this area he was thinking we have a lot of lakes, heh). My actual suburb (if one wants to call it that, and I guess technically it is a suburb of Dallas) has very nearly everything one could possibly want though. Bad ass shopping, restaurants out the wazoo, a lot of big businesses, and so on and so forth...pretty much what big cities are noted for. When there's something besides nightlife that I don't have here that I want (.01% of the time) then I go into Dallas. But as far as where I live, it's a really nice place with no crime and nice people, and I'm quite fond of it.

I'm not sure how to classify where I live, because I see the distinctions between city, suburb, rural, etc. more in terms of culture and lifestyle than population density. I'd have to say 'university town'. Corvallis has a population of around 50,000, so it's technically not a city (I believe the minimum to technically qualify as city is 100,000?). There are suburban lifestyles here, as well as actual farms, and a modestly sized downtown that's anything but bustling. But all that is offset by the cultural buzz of Oregon State University, with its national and international student population, and its academic and intellectual climate.

Where we actually live is the northern end of the town, a few miles away from the noisy campus life, so it's relatively quiet. The nearest other town, Albany, is about 10 miles away. Portland (definitely a city) is an hour north of us.

Until this week it was suburbs/village thing. Now that I live in Oxford, it's most definitely the city centre :D.

If you live in Oxford, do they still have that Tolkien Walk thing going on Tuesdays?

I'll check for you. I only got here on Tuesday, so I'm not entirely sure.

City, there are no suburbs around here in the american definition. They are more like private city zones for rich people.

I don't live in a city, and I don't live in an urban area.


I live in a town.

What do I vote?
