(1,758 posts)26. Small city with a large university.
Oceans are cool for a week or too but kinda depressing after a while. Ive lived in an off the grid rustic cabin in the Northern Rockies and that was great but I cant imagine growing old in a place like that (winters can be pretty rough). The woods are beautiful for a visit but kinda lonesome after a while. A lakeside community would be cool so long as some of the neighbors are interesting and liberal. Probably the best situation for me would be a small, liberal city with a decent size university, walking / biking trails and outdoor recreation nearby.
