City Life and Country Life

There are many difference between a large city and a small town. The most notable difference is the people who live there,as the size of the population. The scenery and buildings vary greatly both in size and number. Personaly, I perfer to live in a small town.
The people in the city are different from the people in a small town. Small town folks usually speak the same language,they're friendly and can be very helpful when assistance is needed. The city is multi-cultural,and people keep mostly to themselves.They are always busy and don't have time to relax. If you live in a small town,you have friends.In the city you have mostly aquantences.In a small town,I find the people looking out for each other,especially seniors and the elderly. For the people in the city there's no comparison,they have to fend for themselves.
Cities are becoming more populated every year if not daily. If you prefer a small town,you will find fewer people,no crowded stores to shop in,and easy access to them. If you prefer the city,there's more people,crowded shopping mails,supermarkets and offices and too many people for my liking. During the summer and the holiday season,the population of a small town can increase while there is little change in the city. What once was a small town becomes a large city with people escaping the hassle of the city in order to enjoy more quiet life style.
Huge buildings a lack of parks,pollution and crime are all part of city living.
Skyscrapers and condos are slowly taking over the large cities,while more and more subdivisions are taking over the small towns. In a small there still more green space,and less traffic noise,such as sirens every five minutes or so. In the city skyscaper or office towers block the view where you once could see a body of water.
Air and water pollution is slowly distroying our cities while for now it is the opposite in a small town. With the crime and accident rate steadly increasing in larger cities,more people are moving to smaller towns where they can live or retire in peace.
Today the small towns are being slowly gobbled up by the larger cities,with more people having to travel further away to escape them or to them to make a living.
Over-all if you have a choice where would you live? In a large over crowded crime filled city or a nice quiet friendly small town? Myself,I would prefer to live in a smal town.
