I think the fact that we are even asking this question proves that rural versus urban is not something so black and white or that can be categorized so easily. Perhaps, rurality and urbanity are more of a continuum or spectrum rather than complete opposites. I thought you also brought up a good point that one’s perception of an area as rural or urban might depend on where one grew up. I think this further serves to show that it’s all relative and that rural and urban are more likely part of one continuum.Moonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158993638559432634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171420941776673660.post-87893376771336611412014-11-01T18:51:26.112-07:002014-11-01T18:51:26.112-07:00Davis is a unique place, and I think that’s largel...Davis is a unique place, and I think that’s largely because of the university. Davis isn’t some garden-variety small Central Valley town. It’s located in the Central Valley, but a lot of people who live in Davis are from the Bay Area and Southern California. Davis has a large population of young people. Davis has a lot of people with post-secondary education. Thus, the people of Davis might be more similar to those of urban areas, but I think the place is rural. I like the word “island” when you use it to describe Davis, because I think that’s what Davis is—it’s secluded, but highly accessible from the “mainland” (the more populated areas of Sacramento and the Bay Area).Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918051727260587037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171420941776673660.post-57789981090364496702014-10-28T14:20:48.496-07:002014-10-28T14:20:48.496-07:00@ Enrique: Good comment... my issue, however, is t...@ Enrique: Good comment... my issue, however, is that I do not think that Sacramento can be correctly considered a metropolis.<br /><br />That's a stretch. New York City, Mexico City, Tokyo, Chicago, those are metropolises. <br /><br />I am a big fan of people watching. I make assessments of milieus I happen to come across based on those observations. <br /><br />Go to the Arden Fair Mall, and sit there for an hour. The amalgam of people is amazing. As I see it, Its a cross-section of rurality and urbanity.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223806309227236626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171420941776673660.post-19541145911800230522014-10-23T11:36:59.636-07:002014-10-23T11:36:59.636-07:00Having grown up in this area, this is an issue tha...Having grown up in this area, this is an issue that I have always struggled with. Is Davis rural or urban?<br /><br />I definitely appreciate the thought and consideration you put into the label you've developed. Though, I'm not sure if Davis is a "semi-gentrified rural suburb."<br /><br />I would call Ames, IA or Iowa City, IA more of a "semi-gentrified rural suburb." As those communities, both with universities, are more closely tied to the rural environment they are present. Looking at Davis, as it is (an upper middle class community with various urban amenities nestled closely to the metropolis of Sacramento that just happens to be surrounded by agricultural land), I would say that Davis is an urban community that nostalgically holds to this romantic idea of rurality.

There common adage in the Sacramento area is "2 hours from San Francisco, 2 hours from Tahoe." Like your post mentions, Davis has wonderful culture and qualities that many rural and urban areas alike could envy. It is worth mentioning that Davis has evolved largely into what it is because of the University and the Professors that reside within the town. The progress of Davis into the town that we know today is also a somewhat new transition. My parents both attended Davis in the late 1980s and the school and the town have greatly expanded since then. Good post.

So am I. It's interesting to consider how hometown effects one's paradigm of what constitutes "rural." For example, I'd love to see this same blog topic duplicated by someone from a strictly agricultural town with less than 5,000 people.
