I prefer a small town that's geographically close to a larger city and public transit. Sounds weird but I'm actually lucky enough to currently live in such a place. Everybody in my town is super friendly, I've not had a single porch pirate incident or other securoty since I moved in over a year ago, even after accidentally leaving the trunk of my car open overnight, plenty of nature, cheap(er) groceries... and then I can hit the subway to hit the rest of civilization.
Yeah small town on a rail line sounds great. Sadly there are very few such places where I live.
Rail for intercity/town transport plus bikes and buses/trams for in town is my dream set up.
I just want to get to places quickly, safely, and without breaking the bank. It doesn't need to be bullet train for me, or with a quintuple 9 degree of safety and I would pay more in taxes or personal cost to have it. Just something better than the constant growing traffic and distances every year.
