I am just getting old KR. Ignore me. I used to love the city in my 20s and early 30s. I thought I would never leave. But when I finally had enough and moved out after a decade plus of commuting in insane traffic and trying to raise kids amongst the backdrop of concrete and steel and daily symphony of construction crashing, clanging and pounding, instead of grass and trees, and the sweet sound of a calm breeze, I realized I was mistaken all along.

I do believe most people who live in cities do so out of necessity to be geographically close to where they can earn a living or try to climb the corporate ladder and are just suffering from Stockholm syndrome when they purport to like city living. Sure if you are a 20 something trying to make your way in the world, meet people, party, enjoy culture and events, the city is a great place to be but you have to grow up eventually.
