      I live on the bleeding edge of a small town. This is reason #476 why I’ll never live in a city again.

        Yep, it’s great to have room to breathe and do what you want, and still have a reasonable access to basic stuff nearby like groceries, general supplies. In the old days, living outside the city meant that it was hard to get anything that’s not common, boring, or basic. You’d have to drive to a Big City to get any kind of unusual stuff like skateboards or guitars. But we have online shopping now and you can get anything you want shipped to your doorstep, so I have no need for the city.

        “Jobs only exist in big cities” because no one else outside of cities is able to make a living… all areas other than cities must therefore be uninhabited

          you know what happens when more people live together in one place and there are enough jobs for all the people living there? it becomes a city (it doesn’t need to be big, it only needs a lot of cars)
