i love living in the city [...] where junk is king and the air smells shitty.

Big City.

Sonic Youth 37 · 04.28.2008, 12:43 AM

Big City. Metro area of 300,000 or more.

hat and bread · 04.28.2008, 12:52 AM

I'm living in a small town (pop. 8,000) for the first time in my life, and I'm quite enjoying it. I thought it might be difficult to make friends at first, but on the contrary I found it much easier than in the big cities I've lived. Every weirdo drop out artist type hangs out at the same place, everybody knows everybody, it's nice. Slightly inconvenient perhaps, but I like it.

I just went from living in a very big city to a small town. I miss it, badly.

Wow, my city is three steps below New York city, wow impressive.

Everyneurotic · 04.28.2008, 01:06 AM

my city is just below the best city (in theory) in the world.

✌➬ · 04.28.2008, 01:08 AM

Every-n I so want to live a while in Mexico City. I want to live in several countries before I die.

pbradley · 04.28.2008, 01:09 AM

I really enjoy San Francisco.

It's just so expensive.

Tokyo ain't all that.

I think I technically live in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area. Sure as shit couldn't tell by looking outside though.

✌➬ · 04.28.2008, 01:10 AM

That's going to be my home, hopefully in the fall.

terminal pharmacy · 04.28.2008, 01:11 AM

it really depends on the people in the city not the city itself..... i love tokyo it is an awesome awesome city and the people there are wonderful, contrary to that i kinda actually really despised london, although the people i met there were lovely the city itself is a filthy fucking stink hole dirty grimey grey and pungent. paris is lovely but the people are snooty, berlin the people are lovely the city itself is grey and cold and mostly ugly except for alot of the newer architecture springing up around the place.

population really doesn't mean much to me but it is much easier to be anonymous in are large city even if it is only 1000000 or so people like my home city.

jon boy · 04.28.2008, 03:11 AM

mega city for me.

04.28.2008, 03:15 AM

30,000,000+

I hear ya. Though my situation's slightly different. I went from living in a lovely, cosmopolitan college town to an ugly, narrow small town. It's hell.

College towns are much like big cities, with all the benefits and few of the disadvantages.
