I live in the city, but my heart has always been, and always will be for the great outdoors and more to the point. THE MOUNTAINS, probably with enough forrest/foliage all around it as well. I'd have been a mountain man back in the old days and it's my #1 problem in 2005 actually. I just have that "Frontier/Mountain Man" live as I want to, go where I want to, and the rest of soicety leave me the heck alone and not tell me what to do or feel my resolve mindset. Unfortuantely it doesn't fair well in a day and age where there are more meeky fucks that hide behind skirts and lawyers. Thus it's too expensive to buy land (unless you're rich) somewhere, it's already been bought up, and you've got ridiculous laws that even today won't allow a man to just one day walk out into the wilderness and live off the land as he wishes. *Some game warden would start a war with someone over what part of the year it was to shoot such and such etc, then I'd have to go "First Blood/John Rambo" on ppl.
With a wife and a kid on the way, it's a nice town home condo for home it seems, but I'm still saving up for a nice place to call my own out in the middle of nowhere someday. Nothing like being one with nature, but having a homebase in nature with all the amenities of a technologcial city at your disposale, but having the option to go outside and take a piss if you want to, or test out assault rifles and more that you've designed and created in your spare time. *Basically deal with ppl on your own terms not the other way around. I like the ocean so that be my second choice.

One gene from Merc would assure that wouldn't happen.
Anyway, I'd like to live near the sea, but I'm sure as hell not talking about a crowded beach type area. If that's the case, no way. I'd like to live near the sea, but in a secluded area. The mountains are a close second.

Nice thread. I choose mountains first, sea as a seconds, followed by forest, then the big city, and lastly, empty landscape.
The mountains I think are perfectly suitable for physical training, meditation, seclusion etc. Standing on top a mountain and toking some greens would be great.
The sea is nice and I like to breathe that fresh air. Fishing on a canoe while lighting up some weed would be great.
The forest has a certain special kind of aura to it that I can't really explain. Tree climbing and weed smoking would be great.
The big city like Toronto is nice for all the funky cats out there and all the small-time businesses but is filled with a lot of half-dead people as well. Walking down the streets and lighting up a joint is a risk but I do it all the time and it's great.
And lastly, empty landscape is nice to be in but is not scenic enough like the other enivroments. However, blazing on the herb on an open field would be great.

As much as I would love to live out in nature, I'd have to be in the big city. Now, I could live on the outskirts of the city in an open field, but I'm too used to urban living to change. Then again, you just never know.

Big city where I can get competitive/free internet connection, be able to get the kind of food I'm craving at anytime of the day, and have a greater chance of meeting people that share the same interests as me. If this city happened to be in the middle of a beautiful landscape it'd be a plus.

Best environment to live?
Easy. The place where I come from: the Principality of Asturias, in northern Spain. The whole province is kind of sandwiched between mountains to the south, and the Cantabric Sea to the north, with lots of rolling, forrested hills in between. Mild weather, about 8° celsius in winter, and 22° in summer, on average. Regretfully lots of rain, but you cannot have your cake and eat it. You can do surfing, mountain bike, hiking, you name it. Which I do, btw...surfing is my fav sport since I was a small kid.
Depending on where you are in Asturias, you could go to the beach in the morning, and to the mountains in the afternoon, or viceversa. I live in a coastal town, so the beach is next to my place, and the mountains about are a 1h drive away.
