For me, New York falls into the category of “nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.” That’s not to say I don’t enjoy a big-city adventure every now and then, but just that as a child of suburbia, I’ve come to value:
- Grass over concrete
- Open space over skyscrapers
- The independence of driving over standing-room-only subways
- Fresh air over taxi exhaust
- Quiet nights over a city “that never sleeps”
- Being able to walk at my own pace over being slowed down by the mass of people in front of me
Call me boring, I’m OK with it. Instead of being 1 in 8,000,000, I’m happy being 1 in 2.
