Would you move to a small town?

Would you relocate to a smaller town (let's say the size of Hamilton but 2.5 hours from Toronto) if you were offered a good job with a good salary, benefits and etc.? Would you abandon the charms of the big city life? Of course, you can visit the city every weekend, but sometimes it could be a pain in the ass due to our harsh winters.

I wouldn't consider a town the size of Hamilton a Small Town.

I would love to move to a small town....population of about 5000 people. I live in Milton and it is even to big for my liking

I would love to move from my "SMALL TOWN" (which really IS a town, Hamilton is NOT a town... its a City 100%! lol) of Collingwood (25,000 ppl) to like Barrie or Newmarket, or *maybe* to East York even.

uhhh... Hamilton is not a small town.

Jaime, I'll let you do the Collingwood run down

edit: oh shit, he beat me to it

Ok, let's say the city of Barrie and with no edm scene

What town is it? I live in a small town right now (population 1200), and I don't really like it. Most of the people who live here are ignorant. Also, it gets VERY boring because we have no clubs, movie theatres, malls, etc. I am the only person in this area who likes (or even knows the meaning of) EDM. I get strange looks whenever I drive through town with trance music playing in my car. meh. I guess the plus side is that it's really peaceful here...

i would never move to a small town. i love the city life and how it is fast paced.

also, i would probably get burned on a cross if i lived in a small town.

Living in downtown Toronto my whole life...I'm too spoiled to want to move to the country life.

well, by small town I meant 150,000 - 200,000 people, considering the fact that I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia with the population of 12,000,000

you know...i think i would like to live in a small town in europe sometimes. like a really old village with beautiful scenery and tons of history, but with easy access to a large city. i don't think i could do it in north america though, which would be my only option without a pesky eu passport.

then again, i think i could potentially go crazy as well.

maybe when i'm old.

haha that is HUGE compared to Barry's Bay! At least somewhere that size will have a few places that can keep you entertained while you aren't working. And you won't run into the exact same people EVERY time you go out!

Posted by Irishaddict on Oct-13-2006 02:49:

fuck that shit

yea but there is no edm scene which is a killer. The closest cities are Chicago-2.5 hrs, Detroit - 2 hours and Toronto 6

that was the size of markham when i first moved here in the late 80s and it wasnt that small. that is pretty big for a town, its more like a small city.

i would move if the town was near Dawson's Creek.

You'd be fine... an adamant, passionate, strong-willed atheist here, and I've not been burned yet on a cross

I wouldn't move to a city any smaller then Toronto!

I think Toronto is the perfect size. I would only move to a larger city. Sure larger cities have their disadvantages...but the positives definitely outway the negatives of large cities!

Trust me - I know what it's like. Everyone in this town basically only listens to country music, and that frightens me. However, being in a town that has no edm scene makes you appreciate edm SOOO much more. Every chance that I have to go to Toronto and see one of my favourite DJs makes me unbelievably happy.

Ann Arbour, Michigan is a gorgeous town. It's small...a real university town. I always wanted to go to school there (University of Michigan), just so I could live in that town. But I'd only want to live in that town if I were in school there.

I moved from Los Angeles to a town with only 12,000 people.... now this town is only 4 miles from Times Square NYC so it's really not the same deal but in my case I had no problems with it!
