Hmm..this is tough...

For me, my idea city size would be ~350,000 in a city...

But it wouldn't be an isolated city of that size..i would want a metro area with 4-5 cities with 350,000 people. Each about ~15miles apart from city limit to city limit....

This is an easy one. Small enough where you don't have to worry about traffic and outragous prices, but big enough where people mind their own business and don't know everyone. Pretty simple.

The last option is VERY broad. A city of 360,000 people is not even on the same level as a city with a million people. Let alone 10 million.

You should have probably went with metro areas because a city can have a small population but feel much bigger if in a large metropolitan area.

Yup.

My ideal City/Metro Population is 3 Million. I think that's perfect.
