Live and Work poll - city or burbs

[dmallind]

Poll question: Live and Work poll - city or burbs

Please be honest - I want to get a good sense here of whether assumptions I have or others have vaguely make sense. I know this will not be a scientific poll at all, but a worthwhile gist if enough people answer honestly.

Definitions:

Core downtown = main central area of a major city, usually where governmental offices etc are. For example think Lower Manhattan or DC Hill area
Other city area = within major city limits but not in central corridor. Think Georgetown or South St. Louis
Suburb = smaller twon surrounding a major city including any exurbs. Most markets have TV news covering the "tri county area" or "Seven county area" or "Metroplex". Anywhere included in those definitions = suburb for my purposes.

Thanks!

2. Rural

commute to a small town to work. Hope to segue into doing stuff strictly over the internet so no commute will be involved.

3. Other

I live in a residential area of the city where I work. I don't live downtown, but I don't live in a suburb, either.

4. I live in a city in what was a suburb in 1946

when it was built but which is inner city now. I used to commute 4 miles. Now I'm a parasite.

5. This seems some what flawed

Should be

Down Town
City (In the limits of the nearest 'major' city)
Inner Ring Suburbs (Town or city which shares a border with a city)
Outer Ring Suburbs (Have to travel through at least one suburb to get to the nearest city)
Rural

As to commuting sometimes if you live in a suburb and commute to another it can mean different things. Some people travel dozens of miles *across a city* to get to a different suburb and some travel a few miles within the burb that the live in.. So were I a proper member and able to create polls..

1) I live and commute to downtown
2) I live in a city and commute within the city
3) I live in a city and commute to an inner ring suburb
4) I live in a city and commute to an outer ring suburb

5) I live and commute within the same inner ring suburb
6) I live in an inner ring suburb and commute into downtown
7) I live in an inner ring suburb and commute into the city
8) I live in an inner ring suburb and commute to a neighboring suburb
9) I live in an inner ring suburb and cross through the city or another suburb to get to work

10) I live and commute within the same outer ring suburb
11) I live in an outer ring suburb and commute into downtown
12) I live in an outer ring suburb and commute into the city
13) I live in an outer ring suburb and commute to a neighboring suburb
14) I live in an outer ring suburb and cross through the city or another suburb to get to work

15) I live in a rural area and commute 40+ miles
16) I live in a rural area and commute 20-40 miles

17) I dont commute
