      downtown san francisco

      I prefer the combination. A city discourages population growth (hard to believe, I know), and 'the country' can then be better stewarded (hard to believe, ...). Not that you shouldn't have babies, propagate, cocreate, or breed (of course, the only breeding you do should be of other species (note that I said of and not with). Go ahead, make babies, just remember what good stewardship of the planet entails, and make sure your little ones remember. (It really isn't hard to learn, but don't assume that it's always common sense: that applies to raising babies, good stewardship, and living with dignity). (p.s. about good stewardship of the planet: don't assume you know what that is, or that it doesn't involve you, your kids will end up remembering you as an ass, and becoming mules for the burden of their ecological inheritance - and, yes, the ass/mule connotation refers to the earlier breeding remark, read into it what you like, but don't think less of the other species). After that little rant, I think I need a wee sojourn in the country.
