Definitely small town for me. I couldn’t live with the noise, pollution, crowds and lack of nature of a big city for long. I wouldn’t want to live completely out in the sticks either though, so a decently sized city should be within at least an hours reach or so. Thankfully such places are pretty easy to find in Germany and working from home gives me the option to live pretty much anywhere I want.
No, why? I take the train to the nearest bigger city maybe once a month, do my shopping/visit the theatre or whatever and go back. If anything, I’m doing the people there a favor, by not driving the apartment prices up even further by living there.

So what you are saying is that you would rather be the noise and pollution for the city dwellers?
