I'm in quite the thriving Uni-Centric City, sweetie! I love it here. However....I'm a country gal, music wise, at heart...so that should fit in, shouldn't it?

😘

Just 'googled'; mine has 331k people here in Nottingham.

I can't see why not. It's not about the population, it's about its location, facilities and local culture. It could be an artificially created industrial town originally built for workers in the middle of the nowhere, it could be a picturesque seaside town with historic architecture with either primarily old inhabitants or immigrants of various background or it could be a satellite town nearby a big historical city.

Personally, I'd avoid the first option, not sure about the second, the third sounds great and the last would be probably ideal.

I don't think I have much time left but I would love to take Bob Seger's advice and get out of Denver and spend my last few years in the kind of town I grew up in. Population 7000. Unfortunately, it's a MAGA town and i wouldn't be welcome there and they probably all are.

Hard to say,

On one hand it would be cool to have a close and tight night community where everyone has each other's back,

On the other hand, a small community where everyone knows everything about everyone can feel kinda toxic and restrictive sometimes

Pretty standard thing in the UK, living in a town within the city limits.

Sure. I grew up in a town of 25,000. One requirement would be access to good medical care within 50 miles.

Have many times. The last was just below 4,000.

As well answered this before.

Sure.
Have lived on Tinian Island for a few years.

Nope

Absolutely

Yes.

I do

I'm in that kind of place now.

I live in a town with 214 people

No. I'm a party to an interracial relationship. Why be subject to their bigotry?

i never knew but the city i grew up in apparently has less than 10,000 people. just over 9k

Yes.

Based on that number i already live there
However it's NOT rural

Always have, always will.

Who laughed

I already do. Sherwood is nice and quiet, but it's not one of those small towns.

Not by choice, but I couldn’t rule it out for the right situation.

about 50-60 in my community, 20-30k in entire county

I do, about 10,000

Already do. 6k

The town I grew up had about 3,500 people give or take.

That sounds peaceful.

Maybe when I’m older

That’s not a small town, in my opinion.

I already do.. less than half that

760 ppl currently

Grew up in one with a few hundred people

I already do. Less than 2000.

Try 2000.

I grew up in one. I honestly prefer it

Easily..less people the better

Yes
