Is Life better In a small town or a big city?
It is known that what is good for one person may not be good for another person. For example,
some people always prefer to live in a big city, and some people prefer to live in a small town.
Everyone has different points of view for that. A person has different thinking and reason to
choose a place for living. Jobs, education, family, lifestyle, personal development and some
other factors are responsible for choosing their place to live. Both living in a big city and living in
small town has its advantages and disadvantages. First of all, In a small town, you can build up a
good community.
Education is one of the reasons for living in a big town or city. Both cities and small towns have
good and bad schools. However, there are a lot of options in a big city. Most small towns have
one or two high schools. On the other hand, a big city has more schools than that. In a big city,
you have the option for your career making field. A Big city has universities, colleges and schools.
Because of that you can go to more sporting venues, like NBA Basketball games, NBA Football
games, as well as many minor league or major league sporting events. Small towns offer you
local high school sports. When you live in a big city, you have much greater access to a variety of
entertainment venues, and you are exposed to all sorts of different cultures. Cities also have all
sorts of music festivals, comedy festivals, and other events that happen on a fairly regular basis.
By contrast, small towns generally don’t have nearly as much variety. Furthermore, Small towns
rarely have a formal public transportation system. People must need to buy their own vehicle or
depend on others for a ride.
Even though I have never lived in a city, I think life is better in a small town because the
community is close knit. Small towns have less crime and less traffic as well.
In a small town everybody seems to know each other. Strangers smile at you when you pass
them in public. It also seems like people in small towns are more willing to reach out and help
you when you are in need.Cities seem to have a lot of crime and in small towns crime is very
low. You don't have to worry about locking doors or closing windows and you are less likely to
get mugged or robbed. Children are also safe walking to school alone or playing outside with
little or no supervision.
Traffic is another great thing about living in a small town. It takes less time to drive from one
end of town to the other than it does in the city. You also don't have to wait very long at
intersections or spend much time searching for a free parking spot.
