I live in a 300 square foot apartment in the heart of Lincoln Park, Chicago and I think I'm happier here than I would be in a mansion anywhere else in the world..

    My closet is that big. My damn wife and her shoes!
    one foot in the door
    the other foot in the gutter
    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother

    I live in Warwick NY. I love my town! We have the best of both worlds, NYC is only 50 miles away...but we are still in the country. I see bears, coyotes, deer, and tons of other animals on a daily basis. We have 4 ski slopes with in 15 minutes, and a bigger ones an hour away. We have a lake 10 minutes away where we keep a boat in the summer. The AT is 2 minutes away and a few other parks just as close, great for hiking, Mt. Biking. Harriman State Park and Sterling Forest Preserve are 20 minutes away for more hiking. We have many farms that offer horseback riding. Three wineries, apple orchards, dairy farms, a excellent little town for shopping. Now if only we could stop the crowds of people from moving here....we could stop the crazy building of McMansions, and nasty people from taking over!

    I live in Houston. I used to hate it and couldn't wait to move. I guess it finally grew on me b/c I really like it now. There is so much to do and the people are so nice.

    No but I honestly believe I'm part gypsy. The winters here very nice but the summers are brutal. Which really sucks when you enjoy the outdoors and you have kids. I'm not sure though that I'd ever find the perfect place to live because I always have an itch to try somewhere new. With our family spread throughout the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, we never seem to have enough vacation time.

    I'm going to have to say no to that question. I really dislike Syracuse. It's cold and grimy. Slightly depressing. The city is icky. Basketball good, but the snow SUCKS! Taxes? EWWW!

    But I got an internship right out of college that kept me here. And that led to other opportunities. And then, to make us happier we bought a house. Love the house, the community we live in is cute, but again, snow and taxes blow!

    Someday we'll venture south...

    It's compromise for now between my hubby and I.

    I could go for a little more snow/a little less rain during the winter months, but otherwise yes.

    I really like where I live. A few blocks from Pike Place, about 1/2 mile from the center of downtown, a block from Elliott Bay, near some nice places to eat, next to a big sculpture park, a 42" plasma, a wine rack, a football shaped cooler on the deck, guitars on the wall, good friends, wireless internet, great visitors, and a beautiful woman.....I couldn't ask for anything more.

    Live in a small apartment in NYC (which apartments aren't small, right?). Couldn't be happier. Not only are the available activities not like anywhere else (recently in one week I went to Letterman, The Opera at Lincoln Center, a Mets game, and a stand-up comedy show where the performers were in the nude) but also the ability to make a lot of $$$ to enjoy the activities is all around you. The city is always buzzing, and I can't recommend it strongly enough to anyone who has ever considered living here!

    i've really loved all my apartments and neighborhoods.

    right now I live in somerville, ma in a 2 family victorian and I love it. the neighborhood is great and I love the architecture.

    I hate where I live. The college town here is boring as fuck... there's literally nothing to do off-campus save for going to the shitty local movie theatre. I don't understand how anyone could want to live here if they're not here for college. It's terrible, and the weather is pretty bad too.

    Back home isn't much better. It's just a boring middle class suburban neighborhood. It's nice and pleasant, but it's not really for me.

    I would LOVE to live in Manhattan someday. Hopefully I can get into NYU for graduate school and live there afterwards if I like it as much as I think I will.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    I love living in Chicago. I have a cute loft with 11 foot ceilings and an awesome roof top deck. I absolutely love bucktown, the neighborhood i live in.

    I do wish i had a dishwasher and a/c in the summer. But I still love it

    yeah, but it is also very crisp. I think it's about 70 degrees...
