Do you live in a town or a big city?

[DJ_Bonebraker 183]

I live in one of the unincorporated towns that is part of a fairly large town's "greater metropolitan area".  The town itself (Chambersburg) has just over 20,000 people living in it, which is just below the usual cut-off for being considered a small city (like nearby Hagerstown, which is a City, but only has about 10,000 more people living in the city limits & isn't much larger, geographically speaking).  Chambersburg + the six or so surrounding unincorporated communities have about 52,000 people living in them.

I personally like where I live, because I have a decent-sized yard around my house for my experimental gardening, and I'm about 5 min from 3 interchanges with I-81, meaning I can be in Gettysburg, York, Hagerstown, Harrisburg or Frederick within an hour, and I can get to DC, Annapolis, Hanover & Baltimore in 2 hours or less.  This means that I can enjoy the small-ish town life while being within reasonable driving distance of big-city shopping & services (love Arundel Mills:  They have practically EVERYTHING there).

I live in a small-ish city called Renton, they have all the major stores within a mile's ride.

I live on the edge of town. There is basically nothing for miles and miles to the left of my house, and a somewhat medium-sized town to the right.

Far out in the rural areas where the real ponys grase. We even need our own satellite connection to get Internet !

I love it and don´t want anything else. Unicorns need calm and quiet places to live in.

I live in a town on a bay that is more of a lagoon. I will give you a hint: I am about a stone's throw from a certain house that became a 1979 horror movie's focus.

Renton, VA? That's a pretty big DC suburb, if it's the Renton I'm thinking of.

Anyways, here's a picture of downtown Carmel, Indiana on a busy day (where I live):

I live in a rural area. There's a small town about 15 miles away and my work is in a small city about 35 miles away.

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I live in a city with a population of about 80,000, but about 5 minutes from a little rural town of about 2,000. So I guess you could say I live on the outskirts of the two.

I live in a city that has a population of about 72.000 people. Fortunately, the city where I live is very green and I live right next to a big park.

I live 6 miles outside of a small town of roughly 2000.

I live in a decently sized country town. I've been living here since the day I was born, so I pretty much know the whole area off by heart.

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I actually live out in the countryside, away from all the people. I like it. 

One of the benefits living in the outback is that you can also see a lot of stars clearly, which I'm pretty sure @Phosphor would like.

[SkyPie 261]

I live in a town, but the main part of it is far away due to living in a rural neighborhood.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I live in the country, although I am close to a few towns.

[applesjck 5,601]

I live in one of the biggest cities in the United States! So, definitely a city. 

[Kadae 655]

At the moment, I'm living in a newly developed area bordering farmland about an hour's drive from the city. I'm close to work and we get great internet speeds here!

[Bastian 13,319]

I live in Havana city, fairly large but it still manages to be quiet!

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I live in on the outskirts of a city of about 85,000 people, but my house is just about a 5 minute drive from a little rural town I consider home more. 

[Envy 6,160]

I live in a medium sized town on the outskirts of a city.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Technically I live in a city of about 95k people, but I'm way on the outskirts in a fairly loosely-packed neighborhood of mostly old people, so it doesn't feel that way (especially considering our acre of land is almost completely covered in trees). The town I feel like I live in has 25k people. That town's border is one hill over from mine and it's where I went to school and grew up, so that feels more like home than the city I live in.

I live in a small town 

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,272]

I live in a town and that should not surprise you by its name  

[DubWolf 17,263]

Medium-sized city.

Though most ask what exactly makes for a city? A few smaller sized cities around here are called cities but they don't have that "urban" feeling to it. Ya know? Public transit, towering skyscrapers, large highways cutting through, arguably "splitting" the town up, many will say.

"Big town, small city." It's not a village, yet far from a metropolis, it sucks, my mom and dad live here and they are good I guess, but aside from that I wouldn't own up to knowing almost anyone from around here if I were asked...

Salem Highschool Syndrome, or "small town narcissism and the over involvement of the attention deprived and utterly bored in lives they are not wanted or remotely needed" it's like Trump Derangement Syndrome but only they hone in on other ppl from this small insignificant nothing town that nobody gives a shit about, pretending they are even slightly meaningful not only in the person's life that doesn't want them, but across the globe, they get this delusional sense of self importance from emotional battery, they think putting ppl down makes them look more important and not more white trash lmao these ppl are a shade away from neanderthal, just disguised as "overconfident narcissists" they are trying really hard to mean anything to someone, they need to be hated or something lol
