Rural or Urban and WHY?!

[Mathew]

I live in a very rural area (obviously, it's Yorkshire!) so obviously I favour that over urban. I get the feeling living in a busy, bustling urban area would be way too stressful!

[myke]

id like to be like, in the middle of the two, theres a perfect area just near me thatd be nice to live in because its a mix of the two and you have to have good monies to live there, so id like to have the good monies too please

but i like where i live now too, its in the middle of the two

[Inseriousity.]

Like Joe, I live in middle of both too! About 10 minutes away from the town centre and 10 minutes away from countryside. I can see the benefits of both but for me, the urban side always wins because of the variety of things to do, entertainment wise. Maybe they're just exaggerations, urban-horror stories (lol) but you hear those stories of the kids in the country having to get a bus for an hour to go to school or go to the cinema and I could never live like that!

Urban near all the clubs, restaurants, cinemas. Near civilisation. I can't stand living in rural areas.

I already live in an urban area, so I can safely say urban! I would say that I prefer urban over rural because everything is at your doorstep, most shops are open 24/7 or open until late. I like how the public transport system is excellent and there's always stuff to do (nightlife etc). People are really friendly here too and there's plenty of culture which is great.

Oh, and I'd also like to add that young people like me (16-30) should enjoy living in busy, stressful places, because you only live once, and why waste it in the country?

Urban, not that I mind rural, because I live near the city and I'm just use to a more urban setting.

woo dean, thats how I feel too. Also it feels like you're part of something bigger

[immense]

i don't think your life is wasted in the country. if anything it's the complete opposite.

I agree, and it's really nice to live in a rural setting (less asbo kids)

[louder]

In the ideal world would you live in a rural or urban community?

I do love the rural world and that's where I'd opt to live but really close to one of the biggest cities (London, Manchester, Birmingham) so I'm never too off the pulse!

plymouth would be perfect for you. it is a city, however you're like 10 mins away from dartmoor, cornwall, but you've still got the city centre, with loads of clubs, loads of shops etc.
what i like is it's like the same distance between here and a nightclub to what is it a golf club.
and there's beaches near, and there's a fair few gigs and venues.

but i however, am bloody bored of that! i wouldn't say i'd like to live in either forever, because i plan to be all over the place when i'm older. but next year i'll be going to uni in central london. i absolutely love the city, and i love the busy-ness. i can't wait.
