Or here

Something different from the typical suburban tract home.

Too much friggen ce-ment.

Looks bad at night, even worse at daytime.

No.

Give me a house off a rural hwy where I can shoot in my backyard. Then I will be happy.

Never! But if I were in college and it was just housing till I graduated, then maybe.

When I was a kid, under 25, and the major interest was party places in close proximity I would have loved it. Now I'm all about the open spaces and peace and quiet.

One of the things I hate the most is the city. I hate the sounds, heat, people, traffic, and everything else. And I guess I'm not the only one that thinks this I guess because the people move from the city to the "country" and build housing developments with 3 houses per acre and turn the "country" into the city. And then they move from there to the "country" turning that into the city. Its like a plague. And the only way to escape it is to move deep into the mountains where it is undevelopable. And even then soon they will find ways to level mountains and the entire human race will be confined to high rises and underground housing. This is why we are all doomed.

Been there, done that. I like the fact that I have a trout stream in my backyard and that I am a 10 minute ride to a sandpit where I can shoot a whole afternoon away.

The first one, possibly, depending on the town it's in. I happen to like urban living. I live 1 mile from downtown Ft. Lauderdale and wouldn't change it for the world right now. As a young single male I have no interest in moving to the country and waiting to die. I might change my mind when (if?) I'm married and have kids, but not now. I'd love to have a loft in a downtown area. I visited my friend in Chicago last year and loved it. If it wasn't for the weather and shitty politics I'd move there in a heartbeat. I've toyed with the idea of moving to Atlanta because it's still in the south. I also hear that Tampa is coming around. There is a big push to revitalize downtown areas these days. I personally think it's great.

I think the ideal would be to have a place downtown, and have some land out in the country with a little two-bedroom shack on it to haul ass to on the weekends when you want to get away. Best of both worlds.

Get rid of most of the buildings, and pavement, and all of the people and it would look real nice.

I hate cities; I merely tolerate suburbs. My dream house is a simple ranch with a horse and lots of wilderness.

It's critical. Even as a fan of urban living, the politics of the cities tend to suck, and if those pics are of NYC or Detroit or something like that then it's no good.

True. I wouldn't live in Chicago or NYC or any place where the gun laws suck. The pics are just generic examples. Picture Atlanta or Dallas or New Orleans.

Looked like the bay area to me.

As I said in my first post, I have kicked around the idea of Atlanta. I just don't want to go North.

Actually looking at the pictures again, they kind of look like they could be in Memphis.

It looks like that depressed area in Houston: downtown.

A few years back there was all this hype about how great the downtown and midtown areas would be once revitalized. The problem was, most of the powers that be that were doing the hyping, had some type of financial stake in. Some people bought off on their BS and moved in. It was fadish to try to live down for a time, but now, go to downtown Houston after dark, and all you will find is homless, criminals, and gangbangers. Not a fun place!

You can keep your loft/urban lifestyle . . . . .

I'll choose nature over cement and steel any day.

The big draw for me would be if I worked downtown, that I wouldn't have to spend hours in traffic. I'm starting to really hate sitting in my car when it's not moving.

In that case I would tend to agree.

Why would you have to spend hours in traffic? Drive to the nearest mass transit stop, take the bus / train to work. It is easier and faster to get around most cities during rush hours without a car.

If I was still going out to the bars alot and not seeing anyone steady it'd be okay depending on the city i.e. whether there's any real downtown.

Actually, I've found that a healthy nightlife in close proximity is nice even when you have a steady. I have enough restaurants near me to eat at a different one each night for a month at least.
