I like cities, because there are a lot of people in the world, and the more people that live in them, the less people want to live in the other 99% of the world's landmass. ;> Seriously, though, I actually did live in Oakland for a couple of years finishing up College, and it was okay for a while, but not even the beautyful weather could ultimately make up for the press of people. I love where I live currently. I'm in one of those little pockets of country that suburbs developed around. 3 Miles from the mall, 10 from the international airport, but only like 10 or 15 other people who live in a 2 mile radius.
