I'm fifteen minutes from the beach, five from the refineries and forty from Disneyland.
Nowhere near downtown and yes, I felt the earthquake. Nothing special here
LA is everything the media makes it out to be. Gang infested, criminally organized and cost of living is way too damn expensive.

I close to Canada Olympic Park and you can see the Rocky Mountain peaks one hour West of here..
I live in a nice middle class, multicultural neighbourhood where most dwellings are owner occupied..
Calgary is a family friendly city.

I live in a city controlled by irresponsible profligate spending white libtards. They raise our taxes three times the rate of inflation annually to pay for multi million dollar roadside art displays that kids deface with graffiti, but they have no money to clear the snow in the winter.Quote from: "Shen Li":crazy:

15 minutes from the US border, 15 minutes from the ferry terminal, 15 minutes to Centennial beach, 15 minutes from a huge bird sanctuary, about 45 minutes from downtown, about 20 minutes from the airport. Safe Suburban community of about 30,000; have our own hospital, multiple grocery stores and shops, multiple parks; we enjoy 1/3 the annual rain compared to those closer to the north shore mountains. Decent bus service to major transit hubs.

Very rural. Most of the roads are unpaved. We get power outages all the time. Mostly from electrical storms, wind storms, flooding, and bushfires. The culprit is usually trees getting downed in multiple locations. We once went without electricity for fourteen days just because they couldn't access the spot safely without a flight crew.
Our supermarket is more of a convenience store in a really old building but our bakery makes the best breads, sweets, and savouries. They start baking at 4am every morning except for one week each year when the family goes on a holiday. They hold our village together I think. Last night I pulled into our property and saw the biggest meanest looking roo I've ever seen standing near our kitchen window. It was at least 5.8 feet tall and built like a masonic lodge. Tried to scare it off with the horn and lights but I gave up and carefully got to the back door.

Bought my first house 3-4 years ago and haven't considered about the neighbourhood, city location, infrastructure, school/parks or anything else that matters in affecting property prices, just like how my house looks b/c it has a little balcony on it and was the main reason why I ended up living where I am right now. So far things turned out a lot better than I've expected, which I'm grateful for and hope I won't make the same stupid mistake again. The main downside where I live is it's on the very east side of the GTA and traveling to the very West might take over 30mins if there's some congested traffic.Quote from: "Zetsu"

Wet, but moderate throughout most of the year. I do not like hot, nor extreme cold, so put up with the rain to ensure this.
I was born and raised here, and it used to be better, but we have been pinpointed globally by the entire fucking World as the 'place to be,' especially to wealthy Asians. Poor immigrants cannot afford to live here, but enough East Indians have flooded in also, as they seem to have money also.
It has become a busy place, flooded with immigrants to the point that I really want to get the fuck out of here. 20 years ago I would have stated that I am proud to live here. I am no longer proud to live here, and plan my escape.
I keep busy with work here, but if I live until I can retire, I am getting the fuck out of here.
Call me a racist if you want, but I have chosen a few small towns out on Vancouver Island. Small, White, safe, and not overpriced. This is where I would like to retire.
Where I live is facing 'White Flight,' as an article that was recently published in a local rag has shown to be true...
I don't hate it here, but when one plans their escape 25 years prior to retirement age, you can get my drift.
The country is where I belong. I need open spaces. It used to be more like that here, but not anymore.
Immigrants like to stuff themselves close together and live like rats, and this is how this place is becoming.
I don't blame them, though... The shitholes they are allowed to flood in from? Anything here is an improvement to them. And they will only live in big cities, generally speaking. They crave closeness to their own. Whites are different... We need our space.
Nonetheless, there's enough White fucking homeless junkies kicking around here now also, which never existed when I was a kid, so I'm an equal opportunity realist. Them and their fucking tent cities, and I'm supposed to feel bad when they OD after injecting themselves with Fentanyl?
Sad state of affairs.
I live here, I know here, but I am not necessarily the happiest here. Since I roll solo, I do what I have to do.
A couple of acres out in the country sound better and better with every day that passes.
