re: City vs Country Living

I'd be good with a rural small town with an educated population and enough "nice" things to serve said population.
But that doesn't exist in the South outside of resort areas.

Suburb to a large city with a decent piece of land.

Country, live just outside a small town, 35 mins from Baton Rouge.
I have over 175ac, so all good here.

Can we start banning these type of threads? It seems like it's a daily occurence now. Some people prefer one or the other for their own personal reasons /thread. I lived in Dallas for almost a decade because of the abundance of entry level jobs and pay in my field and moved back to Louisiana once I had a lot of experience because I wanted to live in a more relaxing town. It's a lot more complicated than "I hate cities or rural areas therefore no one should like them either"arguments.

Small town near large city (1 hour away is good). I am not an urbanite but not farmer either. I would like a little more land than I have - an acre would be good enough for me.
This is me (I dont need more land, but my location is exact).
60 miles north of Atlanta living in the city limits (3000 pop). As a parent, it doesnt get better than this.

City. All day, every day.

City. Which a second place in the country to escape for a while. Way too boring to live in the country full time.

Small city or town. I outgrew needing the be entertained 24/7 and don't want the pollution (all types) in the city.

I'd prefer a mid sized to smaller city now. Living in a place like inner city Dallas or Atlanta lost all of its appeal to me once I got a little older.

It's exciting in your 20s, it loses is appeal as you get older.

You’re a fricking moron. Full stop.

Then the stupid asses get on tigerdroppings every morning complaining about the traffic on i12 and i10.
If someone lives in bumfrick LP or AP and drive the interstate to and from work everyday, they have zero room to bitch about traffic because they ARE the problem.

Country living for sure. I don't want to be stacked on top of people, much more autonomy living on a piece of land,have the ability to hear nothing but crickets chirping, can grow my own food, almost always lower taxes, and much less likely to be the victim of violent crime.
Not a fan of eating out constantly, can visit museums and other draws of big cities and leave.
Definitely prefer a piece of land with few neighbors.

City.
We've discussed way down the road moving to a smaller town on the coast and within 5 minutes, we both shoot the idea down because we recognize based on the type of people we are, we'd be bored within two weeks.
To each their own though. I can certainly understand why city living isn't for everyone. There are absolutely downsides, no doubt. It's just worth putting up with for us to have access to the things we enjoy.

I like both, but your assumption is wrong. There is more privacy in numbers. You can disappear in a city and no one knows you are there.

Absolutely true. Big cities are an introverts Heaven. You can be nameless, faceless and stealthy.
That isn't happening in a small town. Hell, even in Juneau, but I like to see friends when I am out.

I live in 2,300 square feet in downtown Denver, and like it a lot.

I grew up very rural.
I've lived in a city for the last 16 years.
I've enjoyed living in the city during my 20s and early 30s, but the older I get, the stillness of the country life is pulling on me.
Of course, my idea of country living is what my parents have, which is 50 acres surrounded by 30,000 acres of National Forest. Its hard to not fall in love with that much quiet.
