This is apparently one of the great cultural divides today. I was struck by comments in various other threads in which certain folks seem to regard virtually any American city with fear, so I'm curious: where do people live?

I assume most people know the know the difference between a city, suburb, exurb, and rural area but you can use the Wiki descriptions if you need to.

The BIG city. 12 million in the Greater London area, and I live in Zone 2, so pretty damn busy.

I've lived in cities most of my life, but not one this big. I'm finding that sort of activity level doesn't suit my introversion in the long run, so I'm moving to... rural? Technically, it's within the borders of an exburb, but it's pretty much in the forest. It's basically as far away from the city as you can get while still having a direct artery into it. :lol: I've never tried living with the trees before, and it sounds nice to me after many, many years of skyscrapers.

I am surrounded by people from your neck of the woods. The wife is from that area. Three of my neighbors are from that area. How in the hell did I wind up surrounded by New Yorkers in the Colorado Mountains? :confused:

You lucky devil, you. No jobs here, so everybody leaves. Good people. Not afraid to travel and not afraid to work. A cultural mix that gets along with everyone. They used to move to Houston, Tampa, Charlotte, and Atlanta and more recently Colorado Springs. People who get off their asses and chase opportunity are good workers and usually succeed wherever.

I've been to Central Oregon, considered moving there a couple of years ago. It's beautiful there, and the fishing is terrific. You are having quite a winter this year, though.

I could never live in a big city, way to much crime, way to many people and bad vibes. I currently live on the outskirts of a small city though, 86,000, but the rural farm land is just up the road a few miles. I moved here as part of a downsizing after raising a family in a very rural town, I wanted the convenience of shopping and healthcare to be within a five mile range and I sure had enough of mowing the grass and snowplowing the driveway.
 
I live in the suburbs. But it's a fairly green area of the suburbs. We have lots of mature trees and wildlife. I'd love to live further into the country, but I wouldn't love the long commute.

I've lived here for over 40 years and this is the worst winter I can recall. Too much snow, too cold, for too long...
