Not in a small town, but on the outskirts at the end of a long drive. I've lived in two houses like that and it was wonderful both times. I'm a boring person and enjoy doing yard work and I finally had enough to keep me busy and fit.

Within 30 minutes of a Costco.

300 k is the sweet spot, but I want to live in the outskirts, small house with a big garden. 15 mn drive from the city or 35 mn walk to the city

I'd love to live in a European styled city, but I live in the US. The best option here is a small town.

Country. But I admit I love cities for the "night feel". Small towns are a decent mix.

I think a small city works well enough for me. It's basically the best of both worlds.

Well, if I lived in a small town I would need to either walk or give little kids asthma to get anywhere. And seeing as I have both a conscience and the pressures of 21st century fast paced living, it's impossible for me to live in a small town.

Also small towns don't got any gay bars
