Answer 3

city i could never live in the country. We have museums, amusement parks, shows, nice restaurants. Many small towns don't even have real shopping. Yes i know there's traffic and noise but there is still so much more to expose your self to and experience in a city. In a small town you'll only be exposed in those kinds of people...But in a large city there are people from all over the world to meet and learn about.

Answer 4

I like the country much more, because you have cleaner air, and its quiet, and its less stressful driving, the crime is less, its nicer if you have pets, especially large dogs that need lots of room to run. Living in the city, would probably save you money on gas because everything is closer, but other than that, I cant think of one good reason, but that's just me speaking after living in both places in my life. Also, you don't have all the noise of the trains, cars, and buses in the city.

Answer 9

In a city you have access to many cultural things but also have to deal with the problems associated with congestion and high population density. In the country or woods you are isolated it is quieter the taxes are lower as property in general is not at a premum related to scarcity, demand etc. But access to common commodities such as a discount store or even electricity or running water may be difficult, limited or not available. For people with money for their money often it is better with some additional investment in solar systems, water retention systems and water saving devices, generators etc. to have a better standard of living outside the city regions or even populated regions. But then one has to consider the fact that people thieves like drug abusers often know about the limited survielance of those regions and select them to break into while being passed off as illegal immigrants passing through such rural areas in Texas. Locally the crack addicts know when the snow birds are gone and tend to break into such places such that the addition of security systems, alarms, dogs for protection etc. are needed additional expenses. One is less apt to be broken into in a rural area but when it happens it may be even more dangerous than in the city because of the lack of being able to have ready assistance in the form of police near by.
But in a smaller city nearby friends and family as I have experienced in the past in rural areas where people live in town then raise cattle and crops outside of town it tends to be very safe comparatively to a very large city. I am speaking of a town of working class people of about 300 houses. But my experiences are limited. Most places you intend to move to or live in will have write ups in magazines, online or in district studies as to quality of schools, amount of crime etc.
I lost weight when in a very rural area while visiting relatives because we had to carry our water into the house as it came from a local well twice a week. At one time they had no electricity or water when it was a 3 house town and at that time my understanding is it was scarey because of wild animals like bears. But they have to travel about 20 to 30 minutes down the road to a more developed town for commodities of any reasonable price. For discount stores it is about half a day on a bus for about 7 dollars which is not bad for a long trip but not the best for going for well priced groceries etc.
