For those who like cities, would you be willing to live 40-60 minutes away from the city? Your job would be in the area where you live. And this is assuming that you would be making good money in the small town.
Relatively, I've always thought 40-60 minutes away was kind of close to the city. But I've lived places where the nearest city was a couple hours away.
I live in the suburbs which is about 40 minutes away from the city. I work around the CBD and west of Sydney and commuting sucks so I wish I lived a little close... or could get a job out here.
Depends on what you mean by "away from the city". If it's still a fairly developed suburb or smallish town I'd be A-Okay, but I would NEVER want to live in a super rural < 3000 pop small town or out in the country. I likes my fast internet too much and quick trips for groceries.
I live about 30 min from the city as is, so I would have no problem with it. I prefer to be away from the city, it's nice to actually have some privacy and be able to see the stars at night.
I would love to but unfortunatly I would have to live more than 45 minutes to an hour away since most of the rural areas around here consist of snobby upper class neighborhoods of very poorly constructed cookie cutter mini mansions. There are woods and small lakes all around them but the neighborhoods themselves don't even have trees.

I'm in that situation right now. It's almost 1.5 hours from home to work each way. But, I grew up in Northern Nevada. So, it's not really unusual.
Edit:
Reading some more. I guess not. But, I love living in the rural area where food is plenty and cheap. I loathe living in the city.
Nope. Can't stand living in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure those who less socially inclined can handle it but not me.

That's not always the case though. Ever since my dad moved up north to the one time family summer cottage, he is more social than ever. In small towns, everybody tends to know everybody. It's not like the city where you are always walking through establishments full of strangers.

Otherwise, yeah, where you live has nothing to do with how social you are.

The one I used to frequent every weekend at the cabin was a bit more like Spring Break than it was something out of Mayberry. I don't know of any city clubs that have action like this. https://www.google.com/search?q=houghton+lake+mi+bud+bash+pics&hl=en&client=safari&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=sLRRUfjbM-iiyAH0toCgBA&ved=0CCsQsAQ&biw=480&bih=268

You aren't talking to a city slicker here...
I am though. I live in urban Detroit. That link is in a small town three hours north of me. Kid Rock has a place there.
Thats the exact situation I am in now. I moved to the suburbs not for long ago. Im an hour away from the city but Im a 15 minute walk from work. The city is obviously more fun but I wouldnt be able to do much during the week anyway since Im working. Being able to walk to work is great.
Definetly.. I love the nice quiet calm air. Where I can hear no people, only nature and myself. I loved the the city in my teens, and I still do to some extent.... Though now I really admire peaceful areas of nature.

my condolences bro It's actually not that bad if you stay out of da hood. Just boring compared to the country. Especially if you are like me and enjoy outdoor activities. All the cookie cutter suburban homes, businesses and miles of strip malls are pretty much an eye sore to me.

It's so easy to slum it in the suburbs and escape on the weekend.
