Are you happy with where you live?

I like that I am in one of the most affluent communities in the world.

I hate that this is basically what people do when they get off work:

Approach house in car
Press remote to open garage door
drive in garage, close door

And that is all you ever see of them. Most of the WASPy/upper-middle class neighborhoods I have lived in, this is how it works. No nieghborhood block parties, etc. You can live in your house for 5 years and have no idea who lives next to you.
 
I love it except for the ridiculous cost of living and occasional heat

That said, 30 days below average = awesome summer.
 
I'm moving next week.

about where I live now..

like: neighborhood, neighbors, parking, commuting time, closeness to high end grocery stores and malls, the fact that I'd be outside of the immediate impact zone if NYC were hit by a nuclear bomb

dislike: cost (both the cost itself and overall value for my apartment), proximity to family

the place that I'm moving into is about 15 minutes away from my family, $300/month cheaper than where I'm living now, has more amenities, and is bigger (I don't know the square footage, but my new apartment has a second bedroom, dining room, and a larger kitchen)
 
Dislike: my neighbors and the whole neighborhood/town/county in general. The neighbors are noisy to put it mildly.

Like: The cherry tree in the back yard.
 
Like: We have a nice house and live in a nice neighborhood. Plenty of other kids for mine to play with. Schools are very close. Other family members don't live more than 30 minutes away.

Dislike: Live 20+ miles from the Twin Cities. As a consultant some jobs may require a 30 minute drive to the client, some may require a 90 minute drive. At least opportunities to work from home will increase.
 
Like: the rural aspect - quiet, none of the neighbors bother me, it snows in the winter

Dislike: proximity to family (2 miles), proximity to friends (300+ miles), prevalent homophobic attitude, lack of broadband, lack of cell signals, lack of gay population, lack of intellect, abundance of wild animals, the heat in the summer... basically everything
 
Don't like: Heat, Traffic, Mosquitoes, taxes

Love: awesome in the spring, fall, and winter, good access to snowmobile trails for winter, Wauconda as a town rocks, very friendly neighbors, quiet, no association, no law against outdoor bonfires/fire pits, very close to a big park (Over 100 acres, has park district facilities, boat launch, they set up the carnival at that park, they shoot the fireworks at that park, pretty much any large city function is at that park), just a few miles from the biggest forest preserve in the county, lots of trees...

I really am very happy with this town, i just wish it would be about 15-20 degrees cooler in teh summer... I HATE when it gets up to like 90 and humid. 60s are much better!
 
Dislike: The people, my neighbourhood, the people in my neighbourhood, the government, the crappy arts/culture.

Like: My place, the weather. I think that's about it.

I live in Central Florida ...

Like: Great place to live in the fall/winter. I love laying in the back yard in the middle of February getting a tan.

Dislike: The hell that is summer (June - September). The neighborhood. No one knows one another.

I hope to move farther north next year ... and buy a house with some land.
 
Toronto:

Like: Exceptionally diverse and welcoming city, safe and clean, great food/entertainment and lots of jobs.

Dislike: Weather - hot, humid summers and cold, nasty winters. Exceptionally bland natural surroundings - no mountains, oceans, beaches or anything other than endless gently rolling farm land.

I live in a neighborhood where the people make Detroit look like a better place to live. I hate them all and wish they'd just disappear.
