Did you live in a good community?

[phk]

Yes

[Yelnoc]

Define "did".

Define "did".

Think he may mean when you were a bairn.

Dunno.  I only lived there for about eight months.

[fezzyfestoon]

Definitely not. It has so much potential but it always finds a way of reminding you just how overwhelmingly cold and shallow it is at its core.

I did- wife and me retired to a 7 acre paradise on earth. Value shot up like everyones then crashed down. Her illness made me sell it at its lowest value just around the time my stock funds hit the sh**tter. Thank God for the fixed annuity, otherwise i'd be homeless or living in a relative's attic or basement.  $1.4 mil in assets I worked for all my life washed away, all I got now is my annuity, the Chrysler Pacifica I had bought for my wife, and 40K in cash.  it, I need another beer....

It was nice when I got here.  Went downhill surprisingly fast.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I did. It was a village in Vermont that's known for small farming and crafts, particularly wickerwork.

It's not your fault.

The neighborhood I was born in has turned form lower middle class white people into just lower class white people (with the very old lower middle class white people thrown in), but fairly crime free then and now.  They never did "get the blacks" like the middle class white people that left had feared the most. (it was as much about property values (I hope) as racism)

Boring as heck but yes overall. However, I plan to decamp to a zip code with a lot more action.

I grew up in two great communities.  Harrah and Choctaw, Oklahoma are great places to raise a family.  They're suburban-rural for the most part and relatively close to a lot of great restaurants in Midwest City and not too far from Oklahoma City.  I say two communities, because I lived in Harrah City Limits, but went to Choctaw schools.  Currently, I live just 13 miles from my parents, so I am nice and close.

Kind of... I dunno. I just moved into my house this weekend in Morris Run, PA. Town of 300, so it makes it interesting coming from something much, much larger

[opebo]

Well, by 'did' you must mean at the very least 'at some time in the past', and by 'good' you must mean I liked it.  And by 'community' lets just assume you meant some mass of people living in a physical place, regardless of any clear definition of what sort of relationships between them constitutes 'community'.  So, yes, at some time in the past I lived in a place I liked, and at least some of its denizens seemed tolerable to me (though never more than a few percent).

[All Along The Watchtower]

No. A boring suburb does not count as a "community."

[Ban my account ffs!]

I like my town.  It's got people from all walks of life and is very worldly.  And you can drive up to a dock in your boat and have a waitress bring mixed drinks in styrofoam cups out to you.
