Urban or rural?Defining terms:--Inner urban: every building is 4+ stories--Outer urban: Like dense suburbs, street parking (if available) is always parked out or requires tickets/permits--Suburbs: Developed areas where you can drive and be 100% certain free parking will be available at or near your destination--Semi-rural: Outskirts of a larger city, blocks are far bigger than residential lots but not big enough for large scale commercial farming==Rural: Small towns or farmland--Buttfuckistan: Australian outback tier, the nearest fuel station is 110 km away and it's a busy day when it gets 2 customers in the same hour

Rural, used to be outer urban ghetto
This is a dumb taxonomy. Very few buildings in my area are under 4 stories. It is what people in the 80s called (in hushed tones) 'the inner city'. There is street parking but no special permits are required. There are a few community gardens where food is grown. You can drive basically anywhere and there's going to be parking. So where I live basically straddles most of these.

inner urban
>>2026016The Algorithm has just made me aware of "urban rural" and "self-identified rural." Urban rural is the unfortunate circumstance of living in the ghetto where companies and development pulled out leaving food deserts inside less fortunate urban cores creating situations that mirror rural living. Self-identified rurality is self perceived rurality while having none of the challenges that defines rural lifestyle. (Like modern "country")
>>2026016Best way to live: Outer urbanWhy?>Street parking always available with a resident permit, lots of people have private parking in the alleyway also.>You get full on parcs with trees, soccer/baseball field, children playground, etc not just squares or plazas like in downtown.>Live close enough to work to not sit in traffic all day, also good access to public transport and bike path.>Housing is cheaper than downtown>Lots of people have small backyards unlike the downtown towers>Cars go slow so safer for children>Kids can just walk/bike to school and don't need to rely on their parents/yellow buses to get them everywhere>Commercial building mixed with residential, don't need to drive to the mall everytime you need something.>Don't need to pay expensive condo fees to repair the elevator that's always broken, also roof and facade reparation fees are shared between multiple owners unlike single family homes.Etc, etc, etc

>>2026016What does Scarborough classify as?
>>2028012According to the OP, outer urban or suburbs.
Between semi-urban and the middle of the woods. The closest I get to urban is a town of 12,000 people.
>>2026016suburbs, used to be semi rural, borderline rural. like the next towns over had farmland. rural was preferable in every way
>>2027976I case pic reated this 'inner urban' looks outer than this 'outer urban' >>2028006We need better categories.
>>2026016I live in a small town which has a semi-dense centre (mostly 3-4 stories in the very nucleus, then gives way to 2-3 storey single and multi family housing). Typical european small town in the periphery of a small city. Conveniently connected by commuter train.Mutts will never know this level of coziness, to live in a small town but still reach the city quick and easy for work or errands without needing a car.
>>2028173same, you pretty much exactly described the layout of my townespecially when there's enough stuff in the small town to never need to leave, and also plenty of forests/parks/beaches thereI only really go into the city for museums and meeting friends
suburbs, been here all my life.However it's a bikeable area since there are designated bike paths, bike trails/running trails, and greenery like the wetlands, lake, or mountains.2.5-3mil people live here, but I am on the east side of the area so rural is close if I want, and the city is 45 minutes away by car.
