re: How can people think city > country?

It's been said that suburbs are places invented by women to raise children. I'd have to agree with that.

Personally I love living in cities. And I mean NYC, SF, DC, and even LA type cities. I might move to the country when I retire but it'd be in the north not the south.

Females in cities >>>>>>>>> females in the country

I live in St. Pete and LOVE it. I walk everywhere. The food here is fantastic. Restaurants and bars everywhere. Rays, Bucs, and Lightning. Theme parks everywhere. Beaches everywhere. Golf everywhere. Fishing everywhere. Art and museums everywhere.

So many options for outdoor activities that it's hard to choose what to do. I don't know why I'd need acres of land in the middle of nowhere to enjoy what comes with living there. I get enough of that when I visit my family...who all live in cabins in Mississippi or Alabama.

Rural areas have changed, particularly out west. You have to be fairly successful in order to live that lifestyle.

I live in the country outside Austin . I wouldn't give up my Lake Travis Hill country views to look at someones privacy fence for anything . At anytime I can see herds of deer, wild Turkey and other wildlife . I can be on the Lake in 10 minutes anchored in our favorite cove ,sipping on a cold one . Don't have to deal with the congestion or traffic .

This debate is literally as old as the agricultural revolution.

most suburbs are the worse the of both


Not from my experience. Most are just an extension of the city with less traffic.

The suburbs of Los Angeles are exactly that, just the outer limits of the city, with most of the conveniences and less traffic.
