I used to like Sydney a lot more than I do now, maybe because I seemed to have more money in my early 20s. It's not a bad place, but it does have a lot of shitty people and it's too expensive to rent here, let alone buy. I'm starting to think about getting out of here and heading up the coast like everyone else is doing, just worried about finding work.
yes north texas best texas
Yeah, Colorado Springs is pretty nice. Altitude sucks hard at first though if you have to PT or anything.
Honestly, no. I've lived in this city my whole life and I'm starting to crave new surroundings. The parks and downtown are nice but after seeing them for so many years I've come to realize there isn't much here for me anymore. The crime rate is going up, more shootings in the last couple of years compared to say the early 2000's. The GM plant closing a while back made jobs harder to find too. The only things really keeping me here are commitments to my relatives. If I ever get the chance I'll probably move in a heartbeat.
[QUOTE=Radley;48484649]Smalltowner here, and I love where I live. It's an "everybody knows everybody" town, crime is basically non-existent and a trip to the nearest city is 5 km. Being so close to the city, you have an easy time to find jobs plus you get all the necessities that you can't get in a small town. The city is also a school centre with loads of educations so if you ever want to learn something then it's pretty easy to get in. Funny thing I've found on facepunch is that I seem to be the only person who is okay with living in this country.[/QUOTE] i wished i lived in one of these kind of small, "everybody knows everybody" towns. some place where everything i need is within a comfortable walking distance a place where i could actually consider taking a stroll around town just for fun, have a bite to eat, see some friendly faces, etc
No, Simply no!
-snip- too many fucking tabs open.

I do like it here in switzerland. My hometown is in a valley with some cool looking mountains. There's as much wintersport as summersport you can do. It's about a 2.5h driveway to italy, 1h to austria and 2h to germany and about 4.5h till france so trips outside are very short.
South Central Pennsylvania isn't too bad I guess.

It's no Vancouver, but at least a winter evening in Downtown Calgary is nothing short of beautiful.
Do I like my living situation? Yes Do I like the town/county I live in? Fuck no, bunch of racist hicks and ni***r this and ni***r that. Maybe some decent people, but they are hugely outnumbered. Southern Indiana
I rather like it here in Turku, though the bit I live in is fairly noisy at night. Every shop I usually need is within walking distance. Just a shame alcohol is so expensive in Finland; us lower classes need to be working, not having fun or some such bollocks.

Not really, I'm pretty sure it'd be better off in any other country but mine.

america is alright i guess, my area is totally chill, but i always wish i had been born a europe [editline]21st August 2015[/editline] and if i had, i'd probably wish i were american [editline]21st August 2015[/editline] at least i'm not in fucking syria amirite guis?
Lawrence, Kansas. Love it. Quiet but enough stuff to keep you busy. Mostly older people live in Kansas, and there's a ton of open land. Plus, I'm into shooting for sport, and there's tons of friends/family with open land to do it on. [editline]21st August 2015[/editline] you know, it always blows my mind how europeans can drive like an hour and be in a DIFFERENT DAMN COUNTRY. like here in the US if you live in the midwest you can drive for two days straight in either direction and hit nothing but states and oceans
Newcastle hasn't been too bad for me. Certainly beat my time in Spain
I live in a small-city in New York. Set aside from how boring it can be, and how bad some of the winters are, it's not too bad. I do want to move out eventually though, haven't made up my mind yet. Maybe Oregon or Washington, no idea yet.
No, Toledo is a dying shithole. There are very few job opportunities, the pay is low, crime is high, and there's nothing to do but go to the bars. I'm moving once my lease is up, but I honestly have no clue where to go.
I live in a very tiny suburb of Colorado called Sheridan and I like the location in Colorado, but I don't like Colorado. Denver's a pretty nice city, but the weather drives me nuts. Like Banned? said, Colorado is schizophrenic. And I'd be okay with weather if it was anything near consistent. The people in Denver all think they're hot shit, with their delicatessens and craft beer bars and other bullshit. I like good beer as much as the next guy but there's only so many nitro poblano stouts or peach blackberry triple IPAs one person can deal with. (FYI beer shouldn't taste like you're drinking ground wildflowers.) I'm sure it's no better anywhere else, but drivers here are shit. People always texting, or otherwise not paying attention, hosing up the already well overburdened I25 highway. But my family is all here so it isn't terrible, I guess.
I live in Plymouth, the southernmost city in England.

The shopping centre is pretty much dead with a LOT of the shops being vacant and almost everywhere outside of the centre is an estate.
