Well for the people I lived in cities as well, but I found I made far more and more profound friendships in villages and definitely the one I live in now. I made real friends there after the age of 35 which I would have a hard time doing in a city, even younger.
And the real benefits; what are those? Because I think some are perceived benefits. If you like that kind of thing, then sure, but that depends on what you mean? Instant grafication of everything always available and brought to your door I personally(and I say that carefully) perceive that as a weakness of self control. And really, each her own; I have this weird thing that I either like tiny villages (<100) or huge cities (>15m) but to live in I found tiny works better for me.
I meet a lot of people who want to leave the city but think they cannot, hence the question. If you like it, you like it, not trying to convince.
