City Life Vs. Country Life

Is it Better to Live in the City or Country? The city is an exciting place, and although I like visiting the countryside on vacation, I prefer having people nearby who would be there if I need a hand with something. It would be scary to me if my car broke down in the middle of nowhere, or I got lost down some long, winding road. Plus, the city always has something going on-events, new restaurants, etc. I wouldn't want to live inner-city, I like being on the outskirts of town, but that is the closest I would go. I don't like bugs. I don't like driving much either. I am not one for dressing up too much, but I like to once in a while. I did stay on a farm once for two weeks, and it was a nice change. I would have probably gotten bored had I stayed any longer, though. Living in the city means being around more stores, people, jobs, and fewer distances to get from one place to another. Roads are generally easier to navigate (especially in inclement weather with road crews out plowing and laying down salt), and trash pick-up is well-attended. Living in the country sets you back from the frantic pace of the modern day. Not to say you're living the life of a hermit in the 1880's, but not as many modern things are needed out in the country. You have nature in abundance, rather than in selected plots surrounded by a parking lot. You have larger distances between neighbors, hence more yard space for the kids. Homes are also cheaper. It all depends, then, on what your preference is on where you'd be happiest. If you like to be around people, don't like being out in the Sun much, and would not want to drive through a few miles of cornfields just to get to the nearest shopping center, then the country is not for you. And if you have anxiety attacks, are an outdoorsy person, or enjoy animals, country living wouldn't be all that bad for you. Source:
