living inthe city

Living in the city v. the country
Are you more of a city individual or a country individual? Some people are fonder of life in the city rather than the country or vice versa because of many different factors. One factor is the pace of living; some people prefer a fast paced city life compared to the slower, more relaxed pace in the country. Population is also a factor; people may desire to live in a densely populated area similar to the city rather than a sparsely populated one similar to the country. Another factor may be transportation; large cities tend to have public transportation that chauffeurs people throughout the city, where in the country that kind of transportation is either not needed or is not provided. These factors influence the way people make decisions on whether to live in either an urban or a rural area.

The fast paced city life offers more entertainment, sports, shopping, and career opportunities than a slow, more relaxed country life.

. . .
Transportation is a factor that many people think about when moving; cities tend to have public transportation because of traffic congestion.

The city life offers many means of public transportation; which includes taxis, buses, subways, and airports. I hope that this essay has informed you on a few of the many factors that influence where people live. Some people feel more secure knowing that their neighbors are in close proximity. Country life means you have the opportunity to raise much of your own food, be it from a garden or livestock. The population of an area can carry a lot of weight when it comes to choosing a place to live, whether in the city or in the country. It seems that the more highly educated an individual is, the more likely it will be that they will be more inclined to live in the city because of higher incomes and business advantages.

Many different factors influence the decision on whether an individual prefers the city life rather than the country life, this essay highlighted 3 of these factors. Rarely do individuals own private cars because of the lack of parking facilities, the increased cost of gasoline, and, unless you are one of the fortunate few, who have garage facilities, occurrences of car theft and vandalism is high. Financially challenged people have more opportunities in the city by getting help from the many agencies ready to lend a helping hand. The infrastructure in the country isn’t as advanced as in the city; the roads are not as well taken care of and it takes you, or it seems like, forever to get where ever you are going. Although neighbors live further apart, they seem to know each other better and are always there help whenever the circumstances call for it. Living in the country has proven to be a more relaxed way of life. These factors are pace of living, population, and transportation.
