Having live most my life in large cities, I will never do it by choice again.
Right now am living in a town of 6000 - 8000 people. Farming community. Rural. We have everything here.
Peace and quiet.
Modern hospital with emergency unit.
Co-Op Grocery
No-Frills
The Great Blue Devil (Walmart)
Police and a really good fire dept.
Timmies.
A&W.
Subway.
Dairy Queen.
The Brick.
Cambodian Tire (Canadian Tire)
Peaveymart.
Lots of churches and booze stores (these tend to go hand-in-hand) if you are into that type of thing.
Can buy 18 types of diesel powered motorized transport here.
Schools
A rather large neurodiverse community here which I have yet to tap into. The town caters to said community by providing jobs, programs, skills training, housing, care etc etc.
................................................................................................................................................................
The City
Sure the city has all of these things, less the peace and quiet.
The house in the city vibrated.
All.
The.
Time.
The non-stop din that I could never tune out or shut off.
All the people with their "Me FIRST!! !!" attitudes.
Horrible traffic on horrible roads.
High taxes that get you nothing.
The place is dirty and full of crime. Truly a den of scum and villainy. I watched someone get stabbed on the light rail transit train, ON MY LAP!! !! No joke. Coming home from closing work, two really really drunks guys get into it on the train RIGHT beside me. One guy knocked the other onto my lap and as I am freaking out trying to get this guy off me his buddy stabs him three times. How I walked off that train with the same amount of holes as I walked on with is amazing.
I hate the city. All of them.
