Seriously, I have never understood why any one would want to live in a city! |

Its called the chance to experience life. The sticks are nice for a visit but I would go nuts living in the middle of nowhere |

There is a difference between the middle of nowhere and living in an antlike environment in a city. When I am traveling and going through Atlanta, etc, I have nothing but sympathy for those destined to spend half their lives in gridlock traffic surrounded by strangers! |

I can be in the center of Toronto Ont in an hour and a half. Aside from traveling around the city on my way to somewhere else, I have not been in the city in over twenty years. |

We have gotten the reverse response when we tell people we moved from Atlanta to Lancaster, Ohio. In most cases it's an age thing. "You left Atlanta for HERE?" is the typical response from 20 and 30 somethings. The wife and I like the advantages of city living, but can no longer stand the disadvantages, so we split the difference and moved to Lancaster (population about 38,000) from the Atlanta area (population over 5 million in the MSA). We have the cultural advantages of a good sized city - Columbus - only 30 miles away where most of the growth and development has been to the north and west while we live to the southeast. Great restaurants, a fine symphony (our destination for this evening), live theater, high end shopping and an international airport. Lancaster (birthplace of William Tecumseh Sherman) has some good restaurants and no traffic. We can fill most of our needs in the local shops and no traffic. We can get anywhere we need and no traffic. It is the best of both worlds AND NO TRAFFIC! |

Sure, there is a big difference between cities of thirty or forty thousand population and large cities such as Atlanta or St Louis. As my wife and I have no interest in fancy restaurants or night life, we do not miss the primary reasons for living in a large metro area. |

I disagree with your "primary reasons" for living in a city, Sea. Great museums, restaurants and cultural activities are the benefits of living in or near a city. Jobs are the primary reason people put up with the hassles |

I must have missed it, but what is The Factor? I assume it's a forum, but what is it about? |
