The older I get - the less it matters...

..depends on how you're working and the dynamics of the place..

Very rural for me.

Though being into music kind of requires you to be in the city. It's annoying. Being in the city for too long gets me depressed.

Going up on the moors tomorrow in fact to escape a bit.

Suburban would kill me. Not rural nor as interesting as being in city. Fuck that

there are a lot of suburbs, but definitely cannot say "pretty much all suburbs", as there are usually more apartments/townhouses jammed in between strip malls than anything (my idea of suburbs are Brady Bunch style neighborhoods)

not to mention downtown, which is anything but a suburb yet still falls in the county

Love the suburbs. But there are some catastrophic zoning/land use regulations that need to change. Suburbs are a byproduct of the oil economy so, by by suburbs?

Honestly all three have pretty profound benefits and drawbacks.

I've been in rural countryside all my life. I genuinely cannot wait to be somewhere more exciting the combination of no shops for 5 miles, 1 very bad pub and 3 other people my age in my village has lead to a pretty boring 20 years.

Definatly suburbs. nice mix of the two, i dont get how most of the suburb are a byproduct of the oil companys though. I know how they are in my personal case, but i dont get how it relates to everyone else :?

I feel very very very lucky to have lived in a pretty small town all my life. I'm 40 mins away from Manchester with regular trains and i'm within walking distance of this..

Oil economy. Most suburbs are predicated on a car per person. Services/destinations are spread out. In most suburbs you have to drive to do much of anything. Kind of a problem at $4 a gallon, pretty serious problem at $20 a gallon.

I think US suburbs are very different to UK suburbs! Actually thinking about it (I basically live in the suburbs of greater london) which is completely different to the suburbs of any other city, so i cant really compare...
I dont have to drive to do anything, and the train station is 3 minutes walk, and londons about 20/25 minutes away, so i guess thats different to the suburbs of larger US citys...
