I live in a city which doesn't have any seacoast. #1 (permalink) Sun Aug 17, 2008 9:24 am   I live in a city which doesn't have any seacoast.
 

To live in a city "where" doesn't have any coast by the sea

"Where" is wrong to use here ?

'Where' is an adverb and cannot be the subject of the verb, 'doesn't have'.
