Some of us feel the optimum size for a modern human habitat is in the 100-200k range; big enough to support an airport and at least one big mall and a couple dozen strip malls. I recently moved back to one such. (Not that it was a factor in the move but I do have both ocean and mountains in view

) Fifteen minutes on the espressway takes you from one end of the metro area to the other. No shortage of shopping, stadium cineplexes, broadband or restaurants. No miles long traffic jams either.
Only thing lacking is a Borders. But that's no longer a consideration.
