Maybe because there are so many people around in the city, some may, for whatever reason, think it's safer? I personally feel much safer out here in the sticks.
Both. Trash, water, sewage, transportation, parks, entertainment, grocery stores — someone else doing the dirty work necessary for their world to revolve.
I told my wife when we watched American Blackout on NatGeo "if the world ended tomorrow, my world would not end with it." The sun will still rise, rivers will flow, animals will breathe. It may get tough, and certain luxuries would disappear, but life would go on.
Most people here in the cities and suburbs haven't got a prayer if something like that happens for an extended amount of time and they choose to gleefully ignore that fact.
Zombies. Not necessarily in the literal sense, but the "ignorants" will be coming for your brains. Which is okay — I could use more sandbags.Most people here in the cities and suburbs haven't got a prayer if something like that happens for an extended amount of time and they choose to gleefully ignore that fact.
I'm in that situation. It's the worst of both worlds. Personally, I love city living; all kinds of great stuff is found in big cities. I've lived in the country and loved that, too. But this betwixt and between situation I'm in now suits me not at all.What used to be the country has turned to city over time due to growth.
Cities seem to take all the self sufficiency out of life. And in that, I believe that is the kind of people it attracts. People who don't want to think or do much for themselves. It also insulates people in anonymity as well, and that may also be a desired effect for some as well. If you don't want to deal with who you are or want to be someone you aren't, then move to the city.
You can thank LBJ and the progressive's "Great Society."
Take the father out of the family with welfare to dependent mothers.
Generations of children raised without a father in the home to impart normative values.
Havoc results, crime spirals out of control, and more generations are born into poverty and onto Democrat voting rolls.
