Two other things that got me thinking also. 1. I can't attach anything to the walls, so I can't have high bookcases or shelves, (I have a 4 year old daughter. Anything higher than a meter or two is a no go as it can fall, especially in a geologically active area. 2. My apt. storage is about 2 sq meters. If I want more I'll have to rent a storage unit several km away. Oh, and it's not in the same direction as my office. You can't have your things nearby, but everything else is nearby. 3 comments

Now there are obviously a lot of positive sides about living in a city, but I don't think I need to list them as 99% of people are well aware of them. But people don't often see the less visible positive sides of living rural or in smaller places. We often see the obvious ones like "oh, so close to nature" and "everything is less stressful". But there are loads of other things that we don't really realize until we've tried both and compared.

I think the only thing I would really miss about living in a city/town is the following. The ability to go to the pub for a beer and not need to worry about finding a driver. 🍻 |

This also got me thinking. All services I mostly needed were located in one small town 25 km away from my farm. Pharmacy, school, bank, post office, etc. I could drive there, park the car, and walk to all of these and do my errands and then drive home. (plus, no traffic).
In the city the post office is several km away in one direction, my office in another, the grocery store in another direction, etc. They all require dedicated trips in traffic.
