What's up with all these industrial and urbanised cities? Great skylines? Best cities to live in? Quality of life? Sure... if you like to look at concrete all the time...
Give me the "country side", some nature. Of course not in the middle of a forest living in a shack or whatever, but a place where you don't live in a concrete fort all the time, no matter how nice and modern the buildings are like all the cities listed so far... I'm happy to travel 30 minutes to go to a 'city' to shop or whatever. I don't need to live next door to a supermarket or Starbucks...
Waking up in the morning by the sound of (real

) birds and other nature sounds can't be beaten by anything.
