@tuban_muzuru I like the diversity and din of mega cities, primarily those with good transit. Children who are safe in cities with good transit have far more independence. I was taking the public bus on my own since the age of 7, and cannot imagine being confined by my parents’ cars and schedules. Some cities (like SF, Portland, Seattle) are really close to and easy to access for nature. Pros and cons. Having a balanced life is important. Whatever it is people from small towns feel about being claustrophobic in big cities, I have the opposite.
