I've lived (yes, lived, not visited) in both a metropolis (Houston, two different locations) as well as two different surrounding suburbs of Houston, as well as a small town (not city) outside of Oklahoma City (a small city in it's own right), and I can clearly state that small towns are a far better place to live (actually live, not simply dwell which is the case with 99% of city folk) than huge metropolitan areas.

places like Houston and major middle American cities are not really chaotic as other major cities.
a place where the sidewalks are not used and EVERYONE drives from place to place is not a real major city in my book ... skyskrapers do not make it one ...
LA is the same shit ... you rarely see people pounding the pavement.
The deserted look of most of these cities after 8pm make them as spooky to me as living in Osztijuming, Sweden.

so being the 4th largest and the second largest, respectively, cities in the US does not make it a major city?
you want chaos, take a drive down I-45 in Houston around 5PM. I scoff at the Indy 500.

Houston's a gigantic city, no doubt, but I understand what lurch is saying.
Most cities = lots of different neighborhoods and a ghost-town-like downtown area with some big buildings.
Real cities = NYC, Chicago, San Francisco (for the U.S., at least), though I can add London, Rome, Tokyo, etc., without having been there.

yes, in Europe all big cities are pretty energetic and lively more so then in the US.
the ideal thing is to live within 30 minute distance from a metropolis, in some quaint suburb ... this way you can get the best of both worlds easily.

I only got about 24 hours to visit Hamburg, but even it was more lively than say, Seattle or Atlanta. It kills me that so many Americans consider Orlando a city, LOL.
And I love living within 5 miles of NYC, but not in it. As you said, I get the best of both worlds.

in paris, it was like one big party.
in NYC, i constantly felt like i was going to be ass-raped. and i was in my own country, speaking my own language.
i will NEVER go back to NYC, or any other major american city (chicago, LA, denver, whatever) again, but i'd gladly go back to paris.......uhh, when the riots stop.
erik is right though, the lure of nature beats the "culture" of a city any day. "culture" usually = operas, plays and other gay shit.

i'm in full support of riots and revolutions, even if i don't support the underlying cause. if you can't be an animal and take shit to the streets from time to time, you're being lazy.
yes i love jefferson, can you tell?
