Do You Live In A City, A Suburb Or A Rural Area?

[THUNDER HANDS]

Poll question: Do You Live In A City, A Suburb Or A Rural Area?

Just trying to track the demographics of DUers.

[LosinIt]

1. Looks like we are well distributed at this point anyway.

I really needed a category that says a small town in the middle of freakin' nowhere.

[davsand]

18. Me too! Pop. 120-- just beyond the willywacks!

It may be a small town, but I moved back here because I wanted to come home! Gonzo, 5thGenDem and Keph can all vouch for the fact that it is BFE!

2. Rural area

but within 10" of small cities, shopping, entertainment, etc. So it's not liking I'm hiding in the bad lands of South Dakota and have to drive 100 miles for food.

7. ditto here

in the middle of nowhere is stretching it.

i guess we live on the edge of nowhere.

[clyrc]

3. middle of freakin nowhere

I hate it, and I'm moving soon... to a University campus in the middle of nowhere.

[WhataBildeberger]

12. I've come full circle

from the middle of nowhere, to a University campus in the heart of what passes for a city in the South, to NYC, and finally back out to the middle of nowhere again. Given my choice, I prefer to live where I can't hear, see, smell, or otherwise experience my neighbors.

4. In a Small Town in the Middle of Freakin' Nowhere

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (It's the kind of place where I always tell people who are worrled about Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction not to worry -- if he dropped one here, it would do at least $2 million worth of improvement. I don't have many friends around here. :shrug: )

5. Sorta kinda ...... I don't know!

What do you call a small independent city located in the middle of a large city??????

[TheBigGuy]

20. technically an inner ring suburb

altho physically it probably looks just like the surrounding city. Put down large city.

[LWolf]

6. I don't know.

Is a suburb a city? I currently live in a city of about 120,000 or so. It is a suburb of L.A.

I don't live here willingly. Previously, I lived in the middle of fucking nowhere, and would live there again given the opportunity. Someday, if there are any rural areas left intact by developers, I will make it out of here.

8. Little bit suburb, little bit city

My mailing address is one suburb, the kids attend school and we have phone numbers of a different suburb, but I vote for city officials of the large neighboring city. I voted suburb, but who the heck knows?!?

[Aristus]

9. I live in a suburb on the cusp of a rural area where everyone

is trying to be 'country cowboy.' I guess they think cowboys drive pickup trucks instead of riding horses, listen to Country music stations instead of making their own music, and display Bush/cheney stickers instead of "Don't tread on me" flags. Pretty broad definition of a cowboy.

Anyway, this is freakin' Washington State, fer cryin' out loud! Can't they move to Texas or someplace?

10. Saginaw is a small city (62,000)

But it IS the Center of the Universe.

I know. I live here.

11. Chester County, PA

aka Freepburbs

[bobja]

13. Big enough city

Over a million here, (S.D., CA) and I can see 40 story downtown bldgs 3 miles away, yet sometimes at night I can hear coyotes a block or 2 away. We always have skunks, raccoons and opossums, plus loads of birds and I have a large yard with trees, so it feels kinda country-like. Soooo quiet if I am home on a weekday.
I have U.S. Senators who are Democrats, a Democrat Repesentative, and a Democrat is my Ca State Senator for my district. And all this in a very Republican town. I feel lucky.

[Nikia]

14. Small town

I believe that the population is around 7,000. We frequently drive to the small city about 25 miles away for shopping and entertainment.

[SPICYHOT]

15. Live in small city with

a lake near, beach and a mountain, all in just one little city.
isn't that cute?

[GOPisEvil]

16. Wow! Sounds lovely!

Where's this, if I may pry a little?

[youngred]

17. I can't vote twice?

I live in a big city and a small town (1/2 the year at school, 1/2 at home)

[TheBigGuy]

19. Demographics here are really interesting.

...only 30% are suburban.

And lots of folks out in the counry or in small towns and citys. (not sure what a small city is...I guess we are talking about places like Stockton or Macon or Peoria or Fall River)

[mvd]

21. Suburban

Small town, but it's in a large metro area.

[Maine Mary]

22. Small town. Population 637 friendly people and 1 old grouch

That's what our sign says anyway :-)
