My favorite places are small, progressive, main-street towns-- maybe around 10-30k people, that are within 2-3 hours of a large city. What I like about a lot of older Western Massachusetts, Upstate New York and Vermont towns are they are a slice of urban surrounded by beautiful countryside with lots of breathing room and clean water to swim in. They have a sense of community like the old days but are not socially reactionary, and are a bearable drive away from NYC, Boston and/or Montreal for when you get a city itch.
I didn't vote for either category.

From the article above - In 2007, 50.38% of American lived in the 28 most populous primary census statistical areas. This made the Indianapolis-Anderson-Columbus the median population such community with 2.0 Million people.
You have a lot to learn as you get older. Your life no matter where you live will ALWAYS be a rat race

That's only half of Americans. And some of those CSA's are places I wouldn't mind living in (I like quite a few of them, actually). But I just don't want to go to extreme extents like NYC.

And since when is every small city like Mayberry?
EXACTLY. Half of americans live in a metro area the size of Indianapolis or above. Indy is not a small town. Its not huge, but not small.
What do you think a small town would be like? Its exactly like Mayberry
Also, my user name is NYC1DAY. However, I dont want to live in NYC myself
I plan on living in a small town in central jersey right in the middle of NYC and Philly. About 35 minutes from both. So you can even get the small town feel in the nyc metro
Mayberry is stereotypical and made up. It would be unrealistic to compare every single small town to Mayberry and put every small town in the same group.
Rural. The older I get, the more boring becomes appealing. I'm sick of the constant barrage of people, and the so-called "liberalism" is stifling.
Liberalism in America isn't liberalism at all, it's extreme conservatism with a different focus than what's often called conservatism.
