Love your city?

I like the tiny hamlet where I live. It's quiet and peaceful, just the way I like it. There's only one other house that I can see clearly; the others are further away. I'm surrounded by nature, there are lots of birds, and occasionally various forms of wildlife (badgers, foxes, deer, moose) appear on my property.

I'm not particularly fond of the town where I work (Sundsvall, pop. ~60,000). The air is polluted, there's lots of noise from traffic and simply too many people getting in my way. It's far better than the big cities, though.

I live by Hershey, PA. I get to smell chocolate when I go outside on a regular basis. But it's actually kinda boring. I lived in San Diego in early 90's, and wish I was still there. That was a great city. Expensive as hell, though.

I live in somewhat of a mix between a city and a village near Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The things I love about it is that it's very quite here (no big buildings, shopping malls, etc.) but still have everything around what I need...

For example a gym is located about 200 meters from my home, same as my job, which is in a supermarket about 500 meters from my home.

Another great thing is that it's very well connected, I can get on a buss about 80 meters from my home en take the subway to end up in Rotterdam in about 20 minutes with a little luck.

I don't necessarilly mind my town. There's a lot of chav scum but overall the places are ok. The transport is terrible because stagecoach are a shower of bastards - charge too much and is never on time. Some decent entertainment though you usually have to leave for anything major. It has decent schools and colleges so there's nothing really to complain about. However the chavs and general scum become a problem. I've lived here the entire 16 years of my life and there always seems to be problems with people. Theres people I just don't get on with, the other day I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said you're moving with your auntie and uncle to Bell-Air. I whistled for a cab and when it came near the licenseplate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say this cab was rare but I thought 'naw forget, yo homes to Bel-Air'. I pulled up to the house around 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie 'yo holmes, smell you later'. Looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit in my throne as the prince of Bell-Air.

I don't necessarily love my city, but we've been living together for about 15 years now and only gotten in a couple of fights. I guess you could say I'm in a mutually-beneficial-domestic-partnership with my city.

If I remember another that post I read, you live in Houston, right? I don't
think I could be so nice (but then I'm from San Antonio, so I'm biased).

I'm currently living in Rio de Janeiro: if nothing else, it's the sports
capital of the world. You've got beaches, mountains, and parks. If you're
broke, you can still go trekking, play something- American football in the
sand, soccer, volleyball, etc.-and there certainly are no lack of gyms
But on the other hand it's a big city, with all that it entails. So I guess I like
Rio: I'm the type of person that needs physical activity, so the sports
culture justifies the day-to-day BS I have to deal with.
