Which do you guys prefer? I personally have lived in a large city (NYC), suburb and a small town. There are pros and cons to both, however, I prefer to live in a small town near a city.
Living in a small town:
-People are more friendly
-People are more conservative
-Not much to do
-You will see people you know everywhere (school, church, hospital, college, work, gym, library, movie theater, shops etc) therefore I think social life is better in small towns. You also personally know most people such as doctors, teachers, mail man, etc.
-Jobs are hard to find
-Life is slower paced
-Less pollution
-Lower crime rate
-Peaceful
-CLoser to nature
-Gossips spread quicker
-Typically everyone knows each other. So police officers won't give ticket for speeding
Living in a city:
-People are more liberal
-More jobs
-More variety in shopping, movie theaters, hospitals, schools etc
-Harder to make friends
-Life is fast paced
-No stars in the sky
-More pollution
-Higher crime rate
-Gossips don't spread as quick
-Diversity
-Bad schools
The reason why I prefer living in small town is I believe people are tribal by nature. We have been living in tribes or villages for centuries. City dwellers have always been a minority. It's in our nature to live near farms, and get to know people in our village personally. People in villages celebrate everything together....birthdays, weddings, holidays etc. But they also are there for your bad times like funerals.
