Oh, I agree that it's definitely an individual preference, no judgement on anyone meant on my part. I grew up in a large city, and before settling down here, I've lived in a few places (the most densely zoned probably being northern Italy while in the military). I actually do appreciate urban life and how great it is to be able to either walk or take public transit anywhere I need to be.

But it turns out I really like having space to play more. YMMV.
