Rural, I guess. Memories of running around out in the country by myself as a kid during the summer. But I have to have a job now, so it wouldn't be like that anymore anyway.
Rural but I don't want to live anywhere too remote.
I'd rather live in a suburban area like I do now, city is a bit much, I don't like all the concrete, smog, traffic, etc. And the problem with rural is it's like an hour or two drive to get a whole lot of things that are five minutes away in suburbia. I like the convenience. And it's nice to be close to a hospital in case there's an emergency. If I had to choose between city and rural, I'm not sure, because I've never lived in either.
weird I just went into ##philosophy in IRC and the first thing I saw was this: <FloridaMan> There are benefits and drawbacks to both. I've lived in rural areas and lived in cities. In cities you get unparalleled variety and convenience. In the country you get quiet and proximity to nature. When you choose one then you're usually paying for it by giving up some of the other's benefits.
Rural
In a city. Though I think I prefer to live in a rural area when I get older. Living in a rural area is a more independent experience. You gotta know how to do/fix stuff. Also, you need to have some stuff like a car, tools, and whatnot to live a fairly comfortable life. Since I don't yet have these luxuries, I prefer to live in a city. Plus, living in a city gives you more opportunities to socialize and meet new people? I'm not sure but I feel it does.

I require a rural area since I process auditive information differently. So to speak, I need it more quiet.
I am not able to differentiate between speech and noise. Consonants gets mixed up with noise which causes me to overhear/mishear things.. or I don't understand what is said at all.
Ah, so selective hearing is very difficult for you? Sigh, that must be annoying and hard to adapt to?
I've never experienced selective hearing. In kindergarten they said I wouldn't listen to them which caused them to shout at me and me to cry. They didn't understand that I was never able to understand them at all with all those loud kids around me. It was an extremely exhausting and boring place for me.
Wow, even harder than I expected. How do you cope with daily life? Did you develop means of communicating that are helpful to overcome this?
I avoid loud places. It's always good to wear noise cancelling headphones. When I meet people in public, I only meet them one by one as I can't follow group conversations. If I can't understand them due to the environment I ask them if we can't somewhere more calm as it overwhelms me.
This all makes me very tired since my brain tries to process everything which is why I often hide from outside as I live in a loud city atm.
Wow! I see you can manage your situation which is very brave and also a necessity though it is demanding and exhausting. Very brave!
Thank you. I still would like to move in a more calm place. Atm it's just hard to get something properly.
City because there are things to do.
city, because I need random access to quesadillas and we just aren't there yet getting those out to the sticks
Or you can just build a home close to mine, you can give me a key, and I can pop in and randomly cook food for you. I’m sure my husband will think that’s a perfectly normal
that happened because I was all like 'waaah nobody ever cooks for me 😭😭😭' anyway yeah I only get to dream about normal
I grew up in rural areas, but they were all close enough to the city for it to not be inconvenient. It was perfect.
This stretch of the countryside is crammed in between to bigger cities so I got the choice. Do I want to have an accident with aggressive bicycle drivers or with a 3 ton tractor. haha!
City, because convenience
Rural tbh
The German North Sea coastal area is considered one of the most rural ones. The definition goes like this: Go north and when the cows start looking more attractive than the girls you're there. Not at all true since there are also city cows.
