It is estimated that 83% of the American population lives in urban areas. I am not part of that 83% because I live in a town of about 1400 people, which isn’t too terrible. The benefits of living in a small town would probably be knowing most of the people, attending local events, and usually not experiencing a lot of violence. Other than that, I personally don’t like living here at all. The benefits of living in a big city are that there are a bunch of things to do, there are higher salaries, more job opportunities, and the views from a big city are absolutely amazing. I plan on living in Florida when I get a little bit older anyway. There are pros and cons to living in big and small cities for everyone, but at the end of the day, as long as you are happy with where you are living, then that is all that matters.
