Do you live in the city, the country, or the suburbs?
Where do you prefer to live? Population of your town/city?
I live in the suburbs, pop 40,000. I really like it.
What made me think of this topic is at work I sometimes take long distance phone calls, and I can always tell if someone is calling from a big city (especially NYC) because they sound so hurried, stressed, like they're about to pop a vein. Everyone at work has noticed this too. I live in the south. I have a lot of negative things I could say about the south, but I do like how we are more laid back and relaxed.
I just started dating a guy from Chicago and sometimes I have to tell him not to be so intense. Also, I'm not very good at understanding accents, and with his Chicago accent, I don't know what he's saying half the time, but he looks so pretty saying it, that it doesn't really matter, lol.

We live in small town Population 1,500.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Used to work in a city and hated it. Love the small community life.
Being stressed out isn't just for city slickers My hubby is stressed all the time.
Not me though. I come home, tell my problem to him and he worries enough for the both of us. LOL Hence I can stop fretting -
I live in upstate South Carolina population about 30,000. We're close enough to larger cities to get our city fix, but far enough away that I can drive the three miles to work in under 10 minutes. I love the laid back lifestyle here. Whenever I spend more than a few days in Philadelphia or Atlanta visiting family, I long for the casual, country pace. But after a month or so in the country, I need a getaway to the city. My "tween" location is perfect for me.-
You mean 30,000 isn't a city OMG.
The city I go to (2 1/2 hours away)is about the same size LOL -
I've got Charlotte an hour away from me Robert, so I kind of have the best of both worlds too. I know what you mean.

Robin, North Carolina's a great state. We head up to Charlotte for the Discovery Place and Carowinds a couple of times each summer(about 2 hours away), and we love the Beech Mountain area. Love Holden Beech, and we make it to Mt. Airey every other year for Mayberry Days, too.

I would love to live on acreage in the country -- close to a city
-
I live on a mini-ranchette out in the country, and I love it. The neighbors are close enough but not too close and town is close enough but not too close, as well.

I live in the country on a small farm (the last remaining 8 acres of an old 800 acre dairy farm). My town has a population of about 7,500. I work in a small city on the seacoast, with a population of a bit over 20,000. It's about an hour commute, but I get to relax in absolute paradise after I make the drive home. Or, at least I thought it was absolute paradise until I read about the small medieval village in Italy ... -
I live in a small pueblo blanco of a thousand people in Andalucia and 20minutes away is a city of 30,000 with everything we need, no stress! -
I live in a small city about 4000 people (in the mountains) just moved here from orlando fl.
and the funny thing is my boss told me today he had complaints that i'm not personable, that i need to gossip more with the customers and loose my "city" accent. I thought that was so funny. Because for me its work first then goof off. -
