City vs. Country living….

At work an interesting, fun topic came up. I mentioned to someone I hated San Diego when I lived there. To which I was asked...where was I born, which as she pointed was a small town and I am prolly biased. However...I dislike little towns too. So obviously, Madison is the perfect size... I said no... Confusing everyone and getting some to laugh, though I was serious, I said, "I'd rather live in a cabin about 25 miles from a middle-sized town with the amenities I need."


So which are you? Someone who prefers the activity and energy found within the city? Or someone who likes the freedom and quietness of the country side? Granted there is a middle with the idea of suburbs It boils down to the person you are and what you preference is.

Living in the city gives you access to lots of events and opportunities for spontaneous urges. Living in the country means you have to plan your treks into the city (outside of work). Suburbs, eh, not so much. I have lived in all three places. I lived in San Diego for city living and I found it to be busy, but too hectic and chaotic for me. The driving was even crazier. I did suburbs in Madison and it was just a smaller scale of the big city….just add a few extra minutes to commute and any events you wanted to go to. Living in the country provides peace and tranquility but a long commute to working unless you find a career or job at home or in the smaller community.

Pro’s and Con’s are abound with each. If I could….I’d live in a nice cabin in the Rockies with all the amenities needed for my geek-side (internet, dish and some access for mail order delivery…)Ultimately, I like that freedom and quietness. To be able to see a clear night sky without smog or city lights covering up the beautiful sight of the stars and moon.
