Prefer living in a small/mid/large city or town? Why?

I live in a mid-sized city now and I prefer it. No traffic, no violence, laid back. I grew up in Atlanta during the Braves heyday years of 90-00 and that was pretty fun but there are a lot of things i don't miss about it, a lot. Just wondering how others felt, especially interested in hearing what its like living in a super small town

Rural. If I can see my neighbors, they're too close.

I was born in a small town, I'll probably die in the same small town.

Love my small city but it may be outgrowing me. I'm looking at a smaller town called Haines, Ak to spend the rest of my days. About 3,000 ppl in Haines.
I like to know people, I've seen the exciting, done the big city and have become comfortable with who I am and what brings me peace. Haines is that place where it all comes together for me.

Rural
Low crime
No traffic
Plus I'm not too far drive any town/city

Live in the big city and have a place to get away to in the middle of nowhere.

I can take a good urban city. I can't stand sprawl or suburbs. Give me a compact urban city with great walk and bike-ability or a rural area. Nothing in between.
A smaller city with big city nightlife and food is my perfect compromise. That's why I really love New Orleans. I can go places and consistently run into people I know, but I have great bars and restaurants and can easily get to tons of stuff within walking distance.

I love big cities (if you consider NO big). I grew up in "the country", super rural area where my nearest neighbors were 1+ miles away, and the nearest store/restaurant was ~20 miles away. I don't see myself ever living in an area away from a large city again. I'm not a "country" person, so not much draws me to rural areas.
In the city I can walk to pretty much any amenity that I want (this is a big deal to me). Living in a city promotes spontaneity, if I want to go to a bar I can walk a quarter mile and be at a number of bars, if I need to go to the grocery store I can walk, same with parks, etc... Also, I enjoy watching live sporting events, if I wake up Sunday morning and want to go to a Saints game I can drive 5 minutes away and pick up tickets. During the NBA season, if I don't have plans I just buy Pels tickets. I haven't even mentioned live music yet. To me, cities=things to do.

If I could I'd live near someplace the size of brookhaven or gonzales -- hammond at the absolute biggest

Give me a city the size of Baton Rouge WITHOUT the angry assholes that drive around here, especially the rednecks in pickup trucks.

Nice to meet you, Kenny Chesney.

My criteria are in order:
1. Warm weather year round or close to it. No real winters. Gulf coast winters are fine, not long or severe.
2. Scenic. Lots of natural beauty where people spend a lot of time outdoors.
3. Entertainment options. Enough so I don't get bored.
Boca Raton and Sunny Isles have been the favorite places I've lived. Then Orange Beach.
