If Toronto ever becomes a megacity, yes.

Hell no. Its rural life for me. I can't stand large cities. Even where I live now in Winnipeg (pop. ~660,000) I find it suffocating sometimes. And I despise suburbia. I've lived basically my entire life (age 5 to present) in suburbia in the same house. I want out.

Living in a country of roughly 21 million I don't think it would happen for a while.

I would like to for a few years, at least. Just for the experience.

If you want to see the other extreme drive down to washington and attempt to find a town called Carbonado. Super isolated, it would be an interesting experience for a tourist since they all think Buckley is a tiny town. That is.... If they let you live and dont shoot you.

No city in America has more than 10 million people, so probably not. If you mean live in a city the size of LA or NYC, then yes I do plan on moving to a city of that size.

Nope, but I do plan on moving to Philadelphia, which is considered an "emerging megacity," according to Wikipedia. :)

Uh-oh, I didn't even consider that... I don't plan on moving there until after college, so hopefully it'll be okay after about four years. ;)

Nah. I wouldn't even live in downtown Seattle. I like where I'm at right now; it's within walking distance of my workplace, but it's very nice and quiet, good for getting a restful sleep each night.

Meh, the town nearby (and that's where I like it) is around 30,000 people, and I consider that too big to live in. My "area" only has a few hundred. I'd suffocate like you wouldn't believe in a city.

After 2012. I don't want to be in a prime nuking zone or area that is most likely to have a lot of zombies.

Living in a megacity atm and it has definitely got a lot of upsides (loads to do, great public transport), the lack of space for ovals, parks and fields is a little depressing though.

Great city, you should love it.

It is indeed awesome. :D I've been there several times because my dad's originally from South Jersey. I live in North Dakota at the moment and I'm dying to get out.

I plan to move to Toronto for school or Montreal. Maybe LA as well so yes. I love big cities. I hate rural country stuff.
