Advantages: easy access to shopping, different kinds of restaurants, and cultural events. Plenty of people to choose from in finding friends. Usually good hospitals/medical care. Travel is easier - airports, trains, etc. Laws usually control things like loose dogs and prohibit inappropriate land use, such as a factory in a residential area. More kinds of jobs available. Better access to universities. You may not need a car. There is usually more tolerance of individual excentricities.
Disadvantages: crowding - people wherever you go, so it's hard to be by yourself. Your neighbors may be able to hear everything you say or do. Noise levels can be very unpleasant. More air pollution than outside city. Often higher crime rates and poor schools, although many rural and suburban schools aren't that hot, either. Costs more for less land, and the taxes are higher. Many limitations on what you can do with your property due to strict zoning. Usually no place to grow your own vegetables or many flowers. Many cities have infestations of rats or cockroaches, but not as many mice as in the country. If you have a cat, you probably have to keep it indoors.
Have I just done your homework for you?

The advantages is convince, maybe short drives to your favorite mall, and food shopping is important. Having city water & sewers that is the most important thing that made me stay in the city, I really can't think of any disadvantages, it all depends on what you are looking for, maybe peac & quiet if that is an important issure for you, I always liked having neighbors, was raised like that ==Good Luck!!!

You have to live by more strict rules in the city on the other hand you don't have someone moving in next door with chickens, pigs, cows, or goats. you have city services but you have to pay for them through taxes. In the country you are billed for the services you use. Do you like people living with in 20 feet of you if not do not move to the city.
