    I live in the city in a nice neighborhood. It is very convenient.

      I'm like Smitty from the City: I don't do small towns.

    I live on a farm pretty much in the middle of nowhere so I'm a country person.

    I'm seven miles from town (which has a population of about 1300) and I can't see my neighbor's house.  The county I live in doesn't have traffic signals so most people would probably think this really is the middle of nowhere!

    I can do all kinds of noisy things on my property like turn my stereo all the way up (but now that I have kids I won't) and there's nobody around to complain!

    So yeah, I go to the city sometimes but just to visit. I just wouldn't want to live there.

  • Country life. There's no real sense of community or uniting culture in a city. Plus you can't do very much but spend money on crap.  I don't see one single positive to living in the city unless one  needed constant hospital care.   I find cities gross, offensive, wasteful, and stifling.

    I'm sort of half and half: modestly sized town on a beautiful coast backed by lovely countryside!

    I don't reckon that bloke in the heading video is a genuine country-lover.

    Dressed like a model in a glossy hunting magazine's green-welly advertisement. 

    Climbing over a gate well away from its hinges even though it has a spring catch on it so it can be opened. Or if it is chained & padlocked as it might be (can't properly tell), not realising - or ignoring - that if it can't be opened it's probably because there is no public right-of-way through it...

    Not from an ad for the glossy magazine, perhaps?

  • "Actually, I'm an unincorporated seaside community and census-designated dweller that likes being in the countryside and doesn't like big cities."

    I would love to be wealthy enough to afford being away from the world.  But not far enough where I cannot access a nice city.

    I'm too chicken and set in my ways to just rough it any more. But if given the choice in my present circumstances, I need a big city.
