Size doesn't really matter to me. Density and accessibility matter to me most.

I would rather live in a community of ~10k that is walkable than a community of 1m+ where I have to drive everywhere. If I can access groceries, dining, and public transportation without ever needing to own a car, I am happy.

I could live in North Bend, Washington, but not Gary, Indiana.

I could live in NYC, but not L.A.

North bend was so cool before it was a bedroom community
