That's really the tradeoff. Some people like trees and grass and a modicum of peace and quiet and privacy. Other people like to live in the caves of steel, with a seething mass of humanity flowing all around.

I think you can guess where I stand on the matter. You couldn't pay me enough money to relocate to Manhattan or San Francisco.
