Best Small Town Rural Southern Cities to Live In? So I've been through a lot of times in the area I live in, and it holds a lot of patterned routines that are not healthy for my mindset. I'm also not suited for the income that is required to maintain a lifestyle here, or the atmosphere that this environment provides. I've been trying to do some research into quiet rurual southen areas that are low key and low population, traditional types-- farmers markets and country stores and local shops and such, not so spread out that it's not functionally developed, but enough to have a community thats welcoming and involved.

I'm from South Florida so the heat doesn't do me me in, it's the snow I have only seen once in my life. I'm a simple sort of girl really and not in the meek sense, I just don't have the taste for down here, I'd rather be sitting out back on my friends poarch and working and things like that then trying to beat 'f rush how... y'know.. the more natual qualities and bountiful things

Why are people that live in big cities more liberal than people that live in small cities? It seems like, in general, people that live in big cities are more liberal than people that live in small cities. New Yorkers, for example, are in general more liberal than people that live in Des Moines Iowa. People in Boston are more liberal than people that live in Lincoln Nebraska, and people in San Francisco are more liberal than people in Bismark North Dakota. It's not an exact relationship. Obviously, there are conservatives in big cities, but in general it seems like big cities are more liberal. I'm not judging or advocating that trend, just observing it. What are the reasons for that?

What is the best US medium or small sized city to live in without a car? I'm currently living in NYC. I'm starting to think about somewhere to relocate to in maybe a year or so. I've never gotten my driver's license. I tried once many years ago but I was just horrible. I'm looking for a smaller city where I can get around ok without a car. I've heard some good things about both Portland and Madison and if anyone wanted to extend their opinion regarding those two or add to my list, I'd be grateful. I'd be renting and looking for something less than then I pay in NYC (obviously, ha)! I'd love a place that has concerts regularly and maybe a quiet bar with good beers. I also wouldn't mind some semblance of variety with local restaurant options. I'm an office manager working in the creative field so the availability of work at a design or advertising firm, publisher or something similar would be a plus (but not a deal-breaker). Finally, I've been toying with the idea of getting a scooter that doesn't require a license for what that's worth.

Best gay-friendly cities to live in the southern U.S.? Are there any cities in the south of U.S. where gays are welcomed, or at least well-accepted? I'm used to living in huge cities where being gay is hardly an issue. There may be some job opportunities for me in the bible belt of the south. What might some of my options be? It would be nice if there were a decent gay culture (like Atlanta) too. But beyond Atlanta, I'd like to find out about much smaller cities that might not be so obvious as well. What do you think? Hearing about cities to definitely avoid is helpful too. I'm hoping to hear about less obvious big cities, plus smaller cities in these states: LA, MS, AL, GA, TN, AR, the Carolinas. Thanks!
Best cities to live in the States? I know this question has been asked many times, but always get different opinions. I would like to hear it again. I lived in Bay Area, California for 5 years, then for job related issue, currently live in Vancouver, Canada. I kinda like both places. The California has very nice weather, but not much going on (boring). Vancouver is nice, very convenient to go around, nice beaches, but rains a lot, and small city. I am considering to move to Florida, which I heard it's fun, like beaches, weather, crowded, but downsides could be the education (for our children in the future), and safety. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! I live in San Jose area, there's nothing going on. There's no cars on the street after 10pm, all stores closed. If I wanted to go to beaches, I had to drive like 1 hour, and found out there's nobody there, even in the weekend. New York could be fun, like the scenes in Garfields where he lives. anyone know which area/city is that?

Do you feel that there is more privacy in large cities or small towns? Why? I've lived both in large, urban, metropolitan areas and I've lived in small, rural, isolated areas. And I get two answers for this. Some move to the cities for more privacy (everyone knows your business in a town of 400 people), and some move to the country for more privacy (you can drive ten minutes and not see anybody for miles). But I suppose a lot of it depends on your description of privacy (emotional, physical, personal) and your general preferences regarding city life vs country life. What does privacy mean to you? Is privacy important in choosing where you live? Have you found more privacy in densely populated areas or sparsely populated areas?
