Which do you like living in better? City or country. I will that the bottom picture any day of the week. How about you?

City. Country is where I prefer to visit... yet if I had to live rural, I'd lose my mind. I live adjacent Toronto, & whenever I visit 'smaller' Ottawa even it feels boring after 72hrs.

I'm in between. I live in a suburb. Fairly quiet neighborhood, little traffic. We have a huge backyard with deer, wild turkey and even bear that frequent our hospitality. Yet I'm 10 minutes away from downtown Buffalo and 10 minutes from anything I want. I lived in the big city, didn't care for it. But I couldn't live too far into the sticks.

Over the years I've lived in both the city and the country and find I don't really have a preference, as I think they both have their good and bad points. However, for the last 10 or 11 years I've lived in a tiny country town in a rural setting and there's nowhere else I'd sooner have lived during a global pandemic. I either own or have access to everything I need - and most of what I want - so I'm quite content to stay where I am indefinitely.

I am, definitely, a "city mouse."

City. Suburbs over both though.

Country.
Been living in the same town for....pretty much my whole life. Population is about 15000.
When I went away to school, the city where the university is - the population was about 60000 at the time.

Country 100%. I like to wake up to the sound of birds singing, not traffic. I like to breathe in the fresh air, not smog. I like rolling green countryside, not concrete. I like wildflowers and natural forests, not manicured lawns and cookie cutter houses. I like watching wildlife and sunsets and fireflies and shooting stars, not television. And I like picking produce from the vine, not the supermarket. I don't mind visiting cities sometimes, but I always feel claustrophobic there. Too many people, and too much concrete.

I've either own or have access to everything I need - and most of what I want - so I'm quite content to stay where I am indefinitely. Agreed. I can barely stand going into the suburbs for an afternoon, let alone a city, without driving back to the country as fast as I can.

Same situation for me except the city is Albuquerque. Santa Fe is an hour's drive. In the last two years of the 1960s I was stationed in the military in Syracuse and my #2 son is a long time resident of Rochester, so I know a little something about the upstate New York snow belt. I really enjoyed my time there.

Describes my situation almost exactly except the city is Albuquerque and a few minutes farther along. Santa Fe is an hour's drive.

I really enjoyed my time there. People laugh at our winters and tell me "How can you live there?" But I'd rather have all my winters more than one day of your current weather. We have never had a 100+ degree day here and I'm happy with that. 90F is brutal to me.

I’ve lived in the country for almost my whole life. The nearest big city is Montreal, which is dirty and under constant construction. This morning I lay there at 4:30 listening to birds singing and bullfrogs croaking.
You couldn’t pay me to live in a city.

If that is not Lake George, it could not be more than 100 miles from it. If it were not for the Adirondack chairs I would say it could be any lake in the world. I miss the North Country but I could not take another cold winter up there. Maybe time to make the trip from Florida for a couple of weeks.

What happened to the lower picture? I posted two pictures and the only one I see is the top picture I posted.
Edit: I put a different picture in its place.
