    Default What size town/city do you live in?

    I live in a town that is currently 55 thousand, with projections of 200k in 20 years. I commute to a city that has 750k or so. (25 minutes from home to work on a good day.

    I live in a small town with a population of less that 1500, but only 25 minutes from a city of nearly 500,000. All the comfort of the country with the convenience of a city nearby.

    I live in a town of 2000 people. I'm originally from the big city of Cleveland ,but that was in another life. About 5 years ago. I can't take the city for anymore than one day at a time.
    I am so used to peace and quiet. We have no traffic jams. A traffic jam to me is 4 horse and buggy on the road at one time. Our closest neighbor is a 1/4 mile and we like it that way.

    I just looked our town's info up online. In 2000, our town had a population of 2,622. The city to our immediate west (takes mere minutes to drive into the city limits of that town) has a population of roughly 85,000 that is rapidly growing.

    The town we just moved from back in May (just a 15 minute drive north of us) has a population of roughly 14,000 that is growing rapidly.

    I live in the boonies, the nearest town is Scottville and it has a whopping population of 120 (but I think they counted the horses, cause I can't come up with 120 people that live there), Palmyra is my official address though and it has 800 people.

    45,000 and we are the biggest city for 80 miles in every direction. South to OKC, East to Tulsa, North to Wichita, and West to somewhere in New Mexico, I am sure.

    I live sort of away from everything, but thanks to urban sprawl, I'm less than 5 minutes from 'civilization.' The population of our 'metro-area' as the city leaders like to call it, is roughly 1,000,000
