What a city!
It's amazing! A little cold compared to California, but I like it a lot.

I am stuck in a lifeless suburb of Dallas known as Richardson. Strip malls, snobs, and right-wing wackjobs. I am from inner city Fort Worth, however, and I much prefer city cores as my place of residence. More eco-friendly, easier to get around, more culture, and more progressive. At least Richardson is more moderate than some of the other Dallas suburbs, else a progressive like me would really feel out of place.

I'm only in this suburb for college--once I graduate, I plan on moving into the actual city of Dallas.

Most people on the left that I know (very rational minded in either education or science) are def. not afraid of those that outright claim to embrace all aspects of conservatism (I'm referring more to social conservatism). In fact, I find it humorous.

With that said, I agree with some aspects of fiscal conservatism, except not having universal healthcare. I love the fact I don't need to worry about being out of network.

I guess that's one of the biggest things that I like about where I currently live...that and kimbap.

On the very outskirts of a very small town in rural Pennsyltucky. A fifteen minute walk in one direction, you're on "Main Street". A fifteen minute walk in the other direction, you see open fields, woods, orchards and horses.

I live in a suburb of Osaka, Japan. The people here think of themselves as residents of Brooklyn. Actually, it's more like Camden, NJ. The only thing that keeps me from suicide is my general physical fitness, and viagra-free potency. At age 65, if I offed myself now, it'd be like killing Jack Lalanne.

Im trying to hold on until America comes to it senses and I can return. The way things are going though, I probably won't make it back except as a vial of ashes to be spead over my sons' favorite places in the USA.

It is? I live in a city of 7,000 people. And there are 150,000 people within a 10 minute drive of me.

But I checked "town" on the poll. I think anything under 250,000 is a "town". Unless it is the major city in a metropolitian area. Like Knoxville is less than 250,000 but I would call it a "city", not a "town".

I live in the fine city of San Francisco... and despite the hatred towards us (on this forum & nationwide), I am very proud to be from here! Unfortunately I am moving within the next few weeks, due to my new job, but I'll still be in the general Bay Area - just much further south.
