The City! Although the Phoenix metropolitan area is HUGE... it doesn't feel like a city. It feels like a giant Provo. It doesn't even feel like a Salt Lake. Maybe I'm not looking in the right parts. I mean I am in Mesa. But still, I've been down to Phoenix. But it still doesn't feel like Winnipeg downtown, let alone Los Angeles or New York.
I love Arizona, but to me the whole place is a development. It is comfortable, convenient, and nice looking. I know. These are not bad things. But after a while, you get bored of the same-ness. That's where Seattle and Chicago come in. I don't know if it is just merely being in a new place for a few days, but I love these cities.
Lisha has no idea where she wants to live, maybe San Francisco if any where. But I know where I want to live... and it's several places. It is Seattle, Washington D.C., Salt Lake City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Vancouver... the list goes on. It includes pretty much anywhere in Europe.
I love how everything is available at your fingertips: good shopping, good food, museums, architecture, people, history, public transportation, etc. I don't have to live right in the heart of the city. But I want to at least live near. I thought at one time I could be a farmer. But cross that off my list because I need polluted air and bums asking for change.
Does this post pretty much reveal my whiteness... link.

no. It is OK to say that comfortable, convenient, and nice looking developments are bad. Because they are. Even small towns in North Dakota have down towns.
