What are the disadvantages of village life?

Answer 1

u live longer,and stay healthy.

Answer 2

There are many disadvantages - I grew up in villages in Oxfordshire and Yorkshire in the U.K. (do they have villages in America). Anyway, transport is often rubbish - try having a social life on one bus a week. Successive governments have ruined the rural transport network. Not a lot to do, I did a lot of babysitting and dog walking. Access to doctors, libraries even food shopping is often dependent on having your own transport. For old people now village life is so isolated. The internet has made things seem superficially better. It got better once I passed my driving test - we all did that fast. But it was cheaper proportionately when I was 17 (I'm 43 now) but I still wanted to get out. That was one of the reasons I went to uni.

Answer 3

I moved from living in the centre of a very large town to a small village nearly two years ago. In the town I had far more choices to make and could easily walk to shops, clubs, parks, cinema, etc, etc. There were a huge range of clubs and societies to join (virtually every interest was catered for). Public transport was very good - I lived one minute away from a bus stop and there were buses every ten minutes to take me into town. From there I could get buses to any part of the town and coaches to London and all other major cities. There was a mainline railway station. I could be anonymous if I wished to be or could be friendly with my neighbours (and anybody else I met) if I chose to.

In the village, we are lucky because there are two shops and a post office. They stay open long hours, which is unusual for a village. Most villages can no longer support a shop. The prices are higher though and I have to admit I rely on a delivery from a well-known supermarket for most of my shopping. There is a primary school which has struggled to keep going in the past because of falling numbers of children in the village. Everybody talks to everybody else in the village so it is difficult to have a "secret life" if you want one. Public transport is appalling. Employment prospects are very limited and if you don't have your own transport it is extremely difficult to find a job. For young people in particular, there are few choices about what to do socially and they are limited in the friends they can have. They have to rely on other people to take them to visit other places and it is expensive (and sometimes difficult) to use taxis.

Answer 5

I live in a 'village' outside Canberra, Australia

It is wonderful.... no disadvantages at all except:

. no pizza
. a long way to the bottle shop (15 minutes or a 'two beer' drive'
. very hard to get a hot pizza
. a long way to run the kids to their sport
. you have to cook your own pizza, which chews valuable drinking time
. there are too few people in the neighbourhood, they're all in-bred and none of them have ever cooked me a pizza
. if you drink the last beer - you're probably over the limit to drive into town and get another one

Seriously ... it's a great life!
