Question

from the inner city but now living rural life, its culture shock but not terrible. the people a bit off can tell you are an outsider but the land and animals are cool and the long drive you can take on a day off.

Hell no! l lived here since November of last year. It's a dump town with drug addicts, drug dealers, and prostitutes. Almost every girl here has some type of STD. Most of them stick their selves with needles and either have hepatitis or gonorrhea. This is the worst place I've ever lived.

At night, you can hear people in the hallway of my apartment building fighting, arguing and slapping each other around over drugs. There are stabbings, shootings, and the occasional domestic disputes. I don't feel safe. Every fucking night I get wakened by this shit. There are a lot of overdoses here and as mean as this sounds, I could care less what happens to these people. They're all crooks. The police come to this building every day. At night, they walk in the parking lot with canines to search parked cars for drugs.

I went from living in a nice, quite neighborhood, with polite neighbors who were the kindest people to this place, a neighborhood where if you're not on drugs, you don't fit in. Take my advice, never get sick! If I wouldn't have gotten diabetes and lost my job, I would never have ended up here! Well, that and my narcissistic aunt I was taking care of. I seriously could not image hell being much worse!

I mean, Im comfortable but its not ideal. I live in the countryside of a college town. I like the college town aspect and the hype of the festivals and sporting events. I do not like the lack of attractions, restaurants, and living in the countryside where I see more deer than dogs lmao. And someones always shooting a dang shotgun in the air at any time of day/night as if its fireworks. Its annoying. I’m surrounded by 10-15 other nice homes and a few horse ranches, but its a dead neighborhood where everyones grown up and no ones ever outside anymore. And there's a guy down the road who actually has a pet zebra, camel and buffalo all in one pin. I don’t even know how the camel is surviving in this type of weather. Lmao its some wild shit outchea 🤣 Once I can afford to build a house, I want to live much closer to town but in a different city/state of course.

KateDemee · Accepted Answer

Yes I love where we are now. It's great. Took a bit getting used to but love it now

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I like the city in which I live. I am not particularly fond of the part of town and the particular house in which I live, but I am renting and that can be changed.

Naydyonov · Answer

I like many aspects about where I live, but I inherently dislike suburbia. It is a strange in-between between city life (you have people & places around you) and rural life (you live on your own plot of land in a house), which gives neither the benefit of proximity that a city would give (essentially described by the ability to walk to 80% of the places you would want/need to visit, like a grocery store or a restaurant, in 15-20min or less), nor the benefit of space & tranquility (which would require you to live in a forest or on a field, both of which are impossible if there are 1000 other houses surrounding you).

Suburbia gives an in-between of being nominally in a city, but having most places accessible only by vehicle (like in rural areas), and being in the countryside, living in a residence exclusively owned by you, with a tiny amount land for a garden, your vehicles, grass. Some people may like having this awkward middle of getting a taste of both worlds, but I think it is better to either embed yourself into one or the other fully, to get the benefits fully.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I have best in both world. I used to be the city girl. Now live in the suburbs.
I am an hour away from the city so…any time i want to do city stuff…I can … other times I am in a lovely peaceful country side.
I told my husband…I can live anywhere…I don’t like to restrict myself. Life is too hard/stressful to put limit on myself when I know I can create the freedom to go places, live else where.
my daughter was so funny…one night over dinner…she asked if I am planning to move…I said…of course I don’t have to stay in one place…she told us to move and give her the house…smh…not a bad idea…

daddy and his wife and also can move to Italy…and give the house to our son…kids are funny.

nightdrot · Answer

Voted "Yes." Absolutely. I and my family live in the Virginia suburbs of Washington DC. Excellent schools, good restaurants, access to an endlessly fascinating city with lots of history.

One of the "centers of the world," so to speak. Plus, there is not too far to travel in the other direction and you can find yourself in the absolute beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains. It is the best of both worlds - or really all worlds. Urban, suburban, rural.

It is really hard to beat. Not without its' problems. Traffic on weekdays and even weekends to some extent, can be horrible. Crime in DC has gotten worse of late.

Suffice to say, no place is perfect and some of these problems are true elsewhere. Overall though, it is hard to beat.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Hell yeah. Personally I think it's the best city in England but tbf bias from living here all my life. I have been to many other places in England though and they always feel so vastly different. Even Manchester which I would say is somewhat close is weird, with tram systems and 3 train stations right next to each other... cause reasons.

Only issue is always needing manny for concerts but at the same time it's not a far trip. We do gets gigs here but they often opt for manny instead.

Also another issue is England just needs to make weed legal and as always wish we got drinks and different flavours and special stuff America gets, like we are eventually gonna get those Alcoholic Monsters but USA has had them for a while now.
So that's a pain.

But otherwise living here is great.

nolabels · Answer

I've lived in the suburbs of a large city all of my life.

I've wanted to live in a rural area for as long as I can remember.

Work and family have kept me in the suburbs. Those conditions have recently changed, but now my failing health may keep me here.

AGGGGHHHH!!!

Rangers · Answer

It's okay, way too hot and humid and almost every bit of nature is destroyed

Everything is an hour away, traffic is horrible, and no job opportunities, but that's standard all across the country. Housing market is destroyed with few options and prices exlpdinf through the roof, also standard across the nation.

The only good part is that the police department has it's own academy, and the academy pays during training, which is one of the only academies in the world in which cadets are paid. I want to take that step but I don't think I'm capable of success

Pinay_ako · Answer

Fuck no. But work is good. There’s construction in every corner. And I just hate the vibe. It doesn’t feel like it’s a first world country tbh. I’ve seen better. It’s a city but it feels like it’s not developed. It’s falling behind other nearby cities but the housing and insurance rates are ridiculous here. People are moving out in droves. It’s not even a very nice place to live in.

bolverk · Answer

I live in the North of England, in that bit that points out into the Irish Sea just before you hit Scotland, in a small town called Workington, If I want to do any hill walking I just have to go inland to the Lake District where I can have an Easy amble or a Tough hike as the mood takes me. This is home no matter how many trips abroad I've taken.

Rural areas can be funny, one village will welcome you with open arms while another looks at anyone who hasn't lived there for 6 generations with suspicion.
