I live in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.

I like the mild weather, the greenery, and the fresh ocean air.

I like the open-minded, down-to-earth people here.

I like the opportunities this city offers me.

I live in south dakota.

I like the friendly people who treat you almost like family.

I like that we don't have state taxes.

I like the river that runs through our city, and the falls.

I like the fact that I can drive five minutes out of town and be in a totally secluded open field and star at the stars for hours.

I live in SW Washington state otherwise known as the Great Pacific Northwest. Yes, it rains alot here, but that is what keeps everything so green. Another feature I enjoy is the thick underbrush. There are a multitude of shrubs, bushes, and various stuff growing on the ground and rising to between six inches to six feet and beyond. With the leaves on all the trees and the think underbrush, I cannot see ny only neighbor in the summer.
I live in a ranch house on two and one half acres, all woods.

I live 10 minutes outside Kristiansand, Norway. I just moved here a month ago from the city Mandal, it's only 45 minutes away by bus.

It's beautiful nature, fresh air, and a very relaxing neighborhood. There are people I know living just 5 minutes away if I should need them. It's a local store here only 2 minutes away.

I live by a small small river, an I sleep easier when I keep my window open and listen to it. I've found my right place to be in now. :)

I dont really like where I live.

I only stay where I am because its close to where the children go to school and all there friends live close by.

But in the future I will move closer to the city. Oh yeah I am in Australia, Melbourne.

I will always live in Melbourne I know that, but I need to move closer to the city so I dont have to drive everywhere.

I live in central Florida..
I did not grow up here and have felt a bit like a fish out of water for the last 17 years. A family situation has kept me/us here.
The weather does not suit my skin. Literally and metaphorically.
I live for the winters!

Duluth, MN

I live on Lake Superior.

We get 4-seasons...I dislike winter thought and get depressed in the fall...but that is neither here nor there.

People are "Minnesota Nice"

I can drive only two hours and be in Mpls/St Paul where I can go to major sporting events, Mall of America, concerts etc...

I live on the northside of Chicago in an old neighborhood.

I live right by Lake Michigan
I love the 4 seasons (including winter) Just as I tire of one season the next one is starting with all the excitement it brings.
Our mayor loves vegetation so our city is covered with greenery and flowers, even down the center of streets.
I live 10 minutes from downtown

In a house with windows, and doors which lead to compartmentalized areas in which you can do different things.

Its a really cool concept!

I'm an Australian living in Costa Rica. I fell in love with this country when I first came here 13 months ago. It's beautiful, the people are wonderful and the cost of living / quality of life is great on a US salary. There are drawbacks, a lot of latin americans earn ridiculously low wages and turn to drugs and crime, but I have a pretty sheltered existence.
