How much do you love the town you live in?

[Whateverist]

I was just reading how Poca and Summer love the place they live.  I suspect they'd extend that to the country or state they live in as well.  I feel similarly.  There really isn't any where I'd rather live.  I like living across the bay from San Francisco.  It is beautiful to see at sunset as well fun to visit, easy to by hopping on BART.  I've got to admit though that I have criticisms of my town Berkeley, and it sure isn't a reassuring place to live in retirement.  (You'd be surprised how generous the young, idealistic, transient population of students at a major university can be in what they're willing to fund with parcel taxes.)

So what about you?  Are you happy, even in love with where you live?  Are you there on purpose or by necessity or just by default?  Is there somewhere in particular you'd rather be or is where you live not even that important to you?

Please tell us what town/country you're in if that is something you're comfortable doing online.  Elaborate on what you like or dislike about it if you like.  The choices, from + to - are:

• This is one of the best places there is to live and there is no place I'd rather be.
• There are many places I could enjoy living and this is definitely one of them.
• This is a pretty good place to live but I can think of ones I'd rather be.
• Doesn't really much matter to me where I live.
• This isn't a very good place to live and I hope to relocate some day.
• There are many places which have a claim to being the armpit of the nation and this one is right up there.
• This is it, absolutely the worst place on earth to live.  Abandon all hope, all who join me here.
