Would you rather live in the city, countryside, suburbs or a village?

I would rather live in the suburban area or the countryside. I do like the peace and quiet (depending where the area is), also living closer to the stores and places. We also have space. For the countryside also I just love the wide open spaces and acres.

Not a big city!

Other than that, we can burden ourselves down with entity names until our heads hurt. A city entity has a mayor, council/aldermen, etc., fixed boundaries, its' own policing, and is self-governing. Traditionally, a village entity may have ill-defined (or NO) boundaries, a mayor and sheriff, etc., and have "villager" input as a main means of input for running things. Often, a village may have to get the permission (specific or passive) of neighboring villages if they are enacting certain laws for their own village. Town entities fit somewhere in between governmentally, typically having decently defined boundaries, a town manager, and some sort of hierarchy under the manager. So the nomenclature of how we designate our governmental dwelling group (or whatever term you like), has a legalistic bent, rather than one which could give clues as to it's city-ness or rural-ness, or any place in between.

BUT, in our group of suburbs of a decent-sized city, I live in a city of about 5,000, and we are bounded by villages all around us, having over 10,000 residents each! We have parts of our city with a major US highway running through it, and other parts where people can raise horses. Our city has its own police department, and co-ops with other entities for fire protection. The neighboring villages have both police and fire departments of their own.

As for me, I guess I'll have to settle for the suburbs as a logical compromise for the calm of the country and the access to more citified conveniences.

Countryside. I live in the country about 5 miles outside a small city. (120,000). I get the quite and nature that comes with the country but have easy access to all the amenities that a city provides.

I’m a city girl and I will always prefer the city. I stayed with my grandparents for the summer and their farm out in the country during my childhood. I still visit them. It was nice but the country life isn’t for me.
