[quote=Anonymous]I've lived in city, suburb and country, though at different times of my life.

It really depends on you and your interests. I'm an extrovert and have diverse interests and hobbies. If there's something specific that brings you joy, make sure it's near you.

Cities - diversity, culture, food, intellectualism, arts, transportation options, traffic, noise, transient, friction, concrete, public parks, individual expression, competition

Suburbs - safe, clean, car culture, conformity, families, private ownership, smaller minded, keeping up with the Joneses, competition

Country - relationships, families, car culture, nature, farming, limited options, self-reliance, smaller minded, less educated, community

Whoever said breweries - these are everywhere so don't worry about that!

In all these places, there are pros and cons. As an adult I could live most places. As a mom with young kids, my favorite place to live so far was the downtown main street of an exurb. But now I live in a rural area and love different aspects of it. I don't want to live in the city as a mom, but I have done it as a young mom.

I'm in my 40s now and the schools where we live are not very good compared to the suburban area we used to live. But the natural resources are world-class and with educated parents providing wider opportunities I think my kids will be ok. I like a slower pace of life and also the sense of community. I feel the need to give back and do.[/quote]
