I grew up in suburbs and would not want to go back. Such a wasteful lifestyle. Single family homes using more electricity than an Indian village needs. I was in shock for weeks when I came back from my first teenage visit to India and contemplated all the McMansions in my area (I didn’t grow up in one, but plenty of my friends and neighbors did).
Although I’d love being able to grow food, I think I would get too lonely in a rural setting. Also, I’d likely need a car, and I’d need to be sure I didn’t live somewhere so close minded that I couldn’t find a decent team of doctors who would deign to treat a transsexual person.
I agree with @wundayatta. Cities are where people like me live. My preference would be to live in a city full of beautiful European gay men ;)
