Is it better to live in the city or country?

Does the benefits of living in one environment versus the pther have an affect on our quality of living? I believe so because the environment we are surrounded by daily gives us the comfortability in how we do things, it keeps us happy or unhappy with the way our life is going. Let's think about it for a moment....living in the city, we have just about everything in close range of our home including places of businesses, grocery stores, gas stations, children schools, friends and such right in our community. It would take a short drive to get to where we need to go. Point A to point B in short drive time or even walking time. Our grocery stores are right in the neghborhood so we would be shopping with familiar faces and pay lower prices for the products we buy. We wouldnt have to spend much money on gasoline so that means a little more money for the other things we need. Our home would be close to the childrens school and thats always a plus in case we would need to get them or for school programs. Our friends would be able to see us often, especially if they live in the same neighborhood. The places of businesses we have important transactions with, we could actually get in person customer service experience whihc is someties needed. It would be nice to deal with businesses this way to know they are actually a place of business. Now , living in a country would be less noise than we would in a city. All the commotion of a busy city life. We would have one or two stores close to us a few miles down. We may have access to home grown vegetables and fruit or even be abe to grow our own. Gas stations would be a few miles down as well but a little less in prices depending on where you stay in the area. Our children's school would be a few miles down the road as well but schools seems to be lower in classroom size which would mean more one on one with the teacher's. Our friends would have to make time to come visit and drive a ways to our home but they could see it as a chance to relax on the countryside. Places of business would be farther and ost of the time we would make transactions over the phone or faxing paper. I f we love the convenience of everything nearby, the city life would seem better to live but if you opt for a more peaceful, serene environment and long drives on the countryside, then country it is for you.
