we have fair public transport, but it's rather expensive.
Thats another nice thing about here, we have really good public transit and it costs me nothing. Have to drive like 20 minutes to get to it but still.

This is why I moved to Lemon Grove, just outside San Diego, got horses right up the street from me, roads with no curbs and few street lights, quiet neighborhoods, etc. It is still really more city than town though. I'd love to live somewhere truly rural with a decent chunk of land but not sure if I could live without the amenities I am so used to having always lived around a decent sized city.

I have the best of both. I'm in a city, but in a closed neighbourhood. I know most of my neighbours (60 houses) and have a public transit hub two blocks away. Grocery, pizza, and a crappy Walmart are quicker to get to on foot than by car. I'm 15 minutes from the downtown core by public transit as I'm on the main line (our version of the subway essentially, though it is buses.) and 20 mins from downtown by car.

This was the biggest change for me moving from the city to out here. We have zero street lights. When its dark, its dark. It was also a tad spooky how quiet it is at first, it will be dead quiet and you will hear a owl hoot or something and it sounds like its right on top of you.
