You must have really small hands.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

I've always lived in the burbs. I grew up in a middle-class burb and I have been living in a ghetto burb for the past 6 years. Now I live in a really rich burb. Big difference between the burbs

From your description I'd live in a city burb

you could live in the big city but the suburban parts . get the quiet you want still can take public transport. most of queens and brooklyn.



Uhh most of queens and brooklyn are not small town.



They might not be Cutt, but Queens has probably about 100 distinct neighborhoods. Some of those do have a very small town feel to them. Truly...

Like Flushing!

Big city. I grew up in Minneapolis and have missed living in a city that size since. London, Ontario was pretty nice because it had a decent public transit system. Where I live now leaves a lot to be desired.

I looooooooooove Toronto. It glitters and always makes me giddy and excited to walk downtown.

I lived in big cities most of my life. NYC and Chicago for the most part.

Now I live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.

It's fricken scary at times. Nothing to do, no where to go do it, inbred, drug addicted, idiots for neighbors, all the kids (I mean ALL) are addicted to Rx drugs, all their parents are addicted to meth and Rx drugs, the cops are fatter, the dogs smell worse, everyone drives like me, it's the worst of both worlds. None of the amenities of a city, none of the seclusion and nature of living on a farm.

It's like a few thousand idiots got together and said, "Let's make a tiny, boring, more stupid version of a city with all the hassle and none of the fun".

It is cheap as hell to live here however, and if you can afford to buy milk and bread on the same day....you are in the top 1% of income in the region which means I'm sorta like a weird assed, scary, rock star of sorts. Which has it's benefits.

I was born and raised in a suburb of New Orleans, moved about an hour away 10 years ago and haven't looked back. We have a mid size city 20 mins away so they big town comforts are close enough. We sold the our house on our tiny yard and bought a bigger house on alot more property for not much more here. Now I can ride my 4- wheeler to my woods and hunt squirrels, rabbits and hogs. Even seen a few deer in there. Oh and the fishing is great here too.

also, I would imagine you don't have a long commute if you live in a big city



ROFL.

When I lived in Chicago I was 26 miles from work.

Here in Iowa that means a 24 minute drive to work from my garage to my parking spot.

In chicago that meant a 1 hour and 15 minute drive that entailed 28 minutes of sitting in red lights and crossing 17 railroad tracks hoping to christ a train wasn't running that morning.

I've lived in a big city for most of my life and wouldn't trade it for anything.


However, if society ever breaks down (nuclear war, plague, zombies), I am screwed.
