I don't know if this counts as necrobumbing, but I genuinely want do discuss this so
Technically I live in a city. But its population is under 10,000 and there are trees and fields and pickup trucks everywhere. So I actually live in a rural area. It's not like a bleak wasteland of fields though, we have Walmarts (everyday low prices) and McDonalds (bada bah bah bah) and stuff like that.
I'm a California Bay Area burb dweller. Rent is high but you're a multi-millionaire if you manage to own a very, very modest home in that area. I don't think I'll like cities, too noisy and congested and expensive. Even IF there are tons of pigeons (there are still plenty of pigeons in the suburbs though).
