Portland, OR for the win. It doesn't offer all the perks of a "big" city, but you can live in the country (no, not the suburbs, the country) and be 25 minutes from downtown, 45 minutes in heavy traffic. 1.5mm gets you a 5000 square foot house and acreage.

I like bumpkins over "city slickers," because more often than not the slickers are posers, and the bumpkins are genuine. Gross generalization, but my sample size is enough to make me feel ok saying it.

Good to know because Portland is looking like the next place I'm going to live.
