General Chat / NE's Great Residential Survey

Where do you live? - Miami, FL, USA

Do you consider your environment urban or rural? - Definitely Urban, I live on the same block as a dollar store and a park. It's not that bad, but there are gangs, so at times I have seen guns and even a car get blown up two houses down. We had a double murder once a block away. Miami is pretty crazy and even with all that I have no plans to move.

How many inhabitants does your village/town/city have? - I looked it up and 408,000 which seems low for Miami.

How many inhabitants does the agglomeration/metropolitan area you live in have? - 1,000,000-3,000,000; I think.

How many times have you moved in your life? - Once to Gainsville, FL right after HS. I got RCT2 there and the rest is history

What's the biggest distance you've moved? - Like 400 miles up the turnpike^

How long do you have to travel to get from your bed to your school/university/work? - Like 40 minutes on average, but only because Miami traffic is pretty awful. Worst drivers in the US! I have been hit 3x, but never been at fault.

Do you consider your environment urban or rural? (subjective answer)
Definitely urban

How many inhabitants does your village/town/city have?
258,700

How many inhabitants does the agglomeration/metropolitan area you live in have? (estimate)
Not sure at all, there's a lot of villages nearby and a few other areas too, I just voted 100k-300k, though i should have probs voted one up.

How many times have you moved in your life?
This all depends on what you count as 'moved'

Technically I've only reallly moved once, but I voted 5 as I have moved in other ways...
Original House > New House > Halls > Uni House > Uni House 2 > Mum's GF's House

What's the biggest distance you've moved?
Counting University I went for 156 miles, otherwise it would be 5.5miles

How long do you have to travel to get from your bed to your school/university/work?
Since unfortunately none of these apply to me currently, i just went with my distance to the job centre xD, which is about 20 minute walk away.

Travel, walk. Though if I am going in Town then I'll get the bus.

Europe

Rural - the view from my window has been of great inspiration!

My village has around 6.000 inhabitants, funny enough, many of them play, or have played RCT.

My village is near Tilburg, which has about 200.600 inhabitants or something I guess.

I have moved twice. I was actually born in Britain: Woodley. Yepp, technically I'm English, but we moved when I was 2 or something.

So I guess that's more than 1000 km.

I go to school on my bike, through the country fields to Tilburg, which is like 12/15 km, so roughly 40 minutes.
Most of my great Ideas or inspiration comes from those trips..

Europe
Urban
Graz has about 300.000 inhabitants and it's the second biggest city in Austria
About 100-200k more live in the outer areas
I moved twice. From my parents house to where I study and changed the flat here once.
About 100-200km away from my hometown, so not that far.
I always go either by bike or on foot. Takes about 30mins to go to uni. I don't like the amount of cars in the city and I think there needs to be a major rethinking with how transport works now (always max 2 people in one car, parking space everywhere instead of space for people). The tram is much too expensive and I think I'm faster with my bike.
When I travel to my hometown I mostly try to avoid public transport because it's getting more and more expensive. So I use carpools and it works well and you get to know new people everytime.

Europe
Urban
Glasgow,Population: 1.75 million-ish(biggest city in scotland)
500,000-ish live in the surrounding area. Thats nearly 41% of scotlands population living in the same area.

Moved once but i was like 3 months old and it was less than a mile.
Get to work by train for 30 minutes and then walk for 20

USA (New York City Area but in Jersey)
Suburban
50,000+ in my new town
Dont know the exact population in the general area, but you have NYC, Newark, Morristown, and my town. Easily the most populated area in the country.
Moved 4 times, most recent was a year ago.
I drive my car, take the train, and sometimes walk to my destinations.
Normally its about an hour of driving a day.

Europe
Definitely rural. I live in a small village that's not too much of a farmers village anymore but I don't have to go far too see farmlands.
My village counts about 11.000 people.
I think I voted 30.000~100k on the 4th question but it's hard too say of which agglomeration/metroplitan area I am. You have brabant-stad which is like 300k~1m people and Eindhoven+outskirts which is probably the same. But both are too far away too say my town is part of it so I went with my town and our neighbour village.
Never moved. So less than 10km.
5minutes to work. 30 minutes too school.
I use my bike mainly and I walk when it's broken.

I decided to do my hometown as right now I'm currently at U of Tennessee for college.

3 000 000+ - Last I heard the GMA has 3 500 000 people.
0 - I'm perfectly happy with my big Victorian townhouse, highway and all.

What poor bastards have to take between two and three hours to get to their job or school? I hope they're paying you gas money.

wooo oceania!

War is peace, freedom is slavery, blablabla etc

What poor bastards have to take between two and three hours to get to their job or school? I hope they're paying you gas money.

Takes me 2 hours to get to work cos I go by trains and there's a silly connection at one of the stations.

Everyone on this forum is lucky. There is nothing more mind-numbingly, gut wrentchingly dull than living in the midwestern suburbs. Whether it is driving past snout house after snout house or SITTING AROUND DOING absolutely nothing, life sure couldn't get any better. Living in purgatory sure is tough.
