THERE are lots of reasons to love living in our incredible city.
From paddling in the sea at low tide to rummaging around vintage and antique shops in North Laine, Brighton is, in many ways, the perfect place to live.
And that’s why we asked Argus readers what they would miss the most if they had to move away.
Lots of readers said they would miss the sea air and long walks along Brighton beach.
Lee-Ann Taylor said: “The sea, especially the smell of salt air mixed with the smell of doughnuts cooking on Brighton Palace Pier.”
Many readers said it is the “uniqueness” of the city and its people that they would miss.
Joan Olsen, who moved to Denmark from Brighton ten years ago, said: “I miss everything. The people, the atmosphere, the buzz, and Broad Street, where I used to live.”
Sam Rider Scothorn said: “I'd miss the uniqueness and individuality of the people.
“No matter what you wear or how you look, nobody cares. I’d also miss the sound of the sea, The Lanes and, of course, friends and family.”
Nicola Jebbit said: “I moved away in 2020. I miss the quirkiness of Brighton and the fact you could walk by someone dressed as a wizard walking their cat and no one would bat an eyelid.”
Other readers shared their own unique and personal responses.
Lorraine Hof said: “I’d miss the Robin Hood pub and football at the Amex.”
Sue Bradley said: “I moved from Brighton to Barrow-in-Furness 34 years ago. I miss Churchill Square and Saunders Park.”
Suleyman Tosun said he would miss many aspects of Brighton life if he had to move away.
He said: “I love Brighton. I would miss the seafront, the marina and going to events. The clean air is another reason and the nice polite people.
“The green and white taxis are another reason, and the University of Brighton, where I studied.
“Finally, the football club and the fans.”
But our favourite answer was by Dan De Leon, who said: “I would definitely miss the Argus.”
