WYR Live in the Countryside, Visit the City or Live in the City, Visit the Countryside?

[Forentive]

Would you rather live in the countryside, with trips to the city, or live in the city, with trips to the countryside?

Live in the city. I can’t stand the idea of having to drive everywhere.

Live in the city.

I live on the rural coast. Day to day life is shit.

would rather live in the city and visit the countryside or beach at weekends

I live in the country side and visit the city.
I grew up in a city and much prefer where I live now.
I like visiting museums etc but I dislike all the hustle and bustle. I like space and beaches and woodland.
Countryside suits me far better.

City over country if I had to choose. I actually live in a decent sized town on the edge of a national park with a direct 30 minute train to the city, this is the ideal for me.

Live in the country.

I visit the nearest city as rarely as possible. Maybe once or twice a year.

I live in the countryside and love it, and feel grateful every day for the peace and beauty of it.

Live in the country. Visit city
Ive done both and this suits me mentally

Live in the countryside, avoid visiting the city.

Live in the city and visit the country.

Live in the countryside which I do now. I’m 9 miles from the nearest city and I love it. I only go into the city as and when I need to.

For me, live in the countryside and visit the city.

Live in the city, visit the countryside.

Grew up in the countryside, left as soon as I could.

I'd prefer to live in a medium size town (population of a 60,000) with decent public transport and visit both the countryside and the city.

Countryside and visit the city. Give me lack of neighbours, green fields and my animals any day of the week. Only thing I’d really really love is a lake. If I had a lake it would be perfect.

I do live in the countryside and I enjoy visiting cities. Everywhere has it's positives and negatives and you can't have eveything everywhere. If I visit a city I really appreciate things like museums, concert halls, the number and range of different places to eat out etc but those are things I want to do relatively infrequently and I enjoy going for a day trip or weekend. My main interests and preferred lifestyle are much better suited to the countryside. I don't think either choice is actually better, they just suit different people. I'm pleased that not many people want to live where I do as the lack of other people is one of the fundamental attractions for me.

our neatest city is half an hour away, I go in for work 3 days a week, always so happy to leave

I live in Wales, in a small town just outside Cardiff. Countryside is not far away but I wouldn't like to live out in the sticks! Small town is perfect for me, I like being able to walk to the shops, walk kids to school, doctors and dentist within walking distance too. And we have a small seafront which is lovely when you want a good walk to blow away the cobwebs, and fish & chips!

Live in the city. I love visiting the countryside but living there would drive me nuts.

Live in the countryside and visit the city. I need to live surrounded by nature, all the concrete and noise of city life stresses me out.

Live in a small coastal town with stunning countryside nearby, as I do now. Best of most worlds.

Live in the country. I work in the city (12 miles away), and the DC used to go to school there, so we spend a lot of time there already, but the countryside is our refuge. DH and I both grew up with similar set ups.

We live in the arse end of nowhere and love it, we don’t like the city unless in small does like a weekend away.

I would choose to live in the city because I love eating. All types of food from all over the world. In the right city, it's feeding time all day long.
