I spent over 50 years living in an industrial town.
In the 60's pollution was very high from the chemicals that were made there, but there was a lot of countryside very close to be able to go and walk.

As the years progressed the pollution in the town got much better, but unfortunately the country vanished little by little as more houses were built.
So in my later years in the town it was completely urban, to go for walks meant a car drive to somewhere more suitable.

For the last 5 years or so I have moved to a small rural village, the air is clean and there are lots and lots of walks.

I don't miss town life at all, in fact when I return it really disturbs me, I do know that many people prefer living in the town to the country,
Why do you think this is and which do you prefer?

I would go for a country life. I have experienced both and I say that country life is much better than town life. Everything there is just good and relaxing. I live in a province but I stay in the city during the weekdays because of studies. Every weekend, I am just so excited to go home.

I would prefer country life, I lived both. But I have preferred country life, because there's peace there at country, but sometimes my mind goes to town then I have to go there for a while. Because coming from the town, you can't adjust yourself in country then. Sometimes mind goes there at town. It is Okay to take yourself there, but after a while your mind would say "Get back to country". Country life is the best.

I went from living in a busy town to living in a tiny village, with only a small shop couple of pubs and a bus service every 2 hours. I thought I would hate it at first, only living near old people, leaving all my friends and having nowhere to go to socialise.

But after a couple of weeks, I was in love with the country, it was so quiet, and even though it was out of the way, I was only 10-15 minutes away from the city! I vry quickly made lots of friends in college and my social life was better in the country side than in the town I had lived in!

Sadly after living there for 4 years I found myself moving back to the old town (or very close by at least!), and I miss living in the country an awful lot, mainly because I am so far away from my family, but it's not only that, it's the peace everything about it!!!

We'll have to see what happens over the next few years and see if we can get back to the countryside!!!!!

I'm a city girl.. born in a city and has lived in city for the past 20+ of my life. I have never lived in the country side before and I wish to try out country side life. I think I will like it since I hate crowds and noise a lot.

town life is only good while still young coz theres too much things to do like a lot of shopping store and even work is in town so we prefer to live in town, on the other hand, country life is good for those whose old already or those who only wanted simple life, i also want to live in country life if i got old coz theres not much traffic there, not that crowded and air is fresh, just a simple life.

I was born and raised in town so I would still opt to live in the city in spite of the pollution and chaos. i love the fact that there are shopping malls around, fine dining restaurants, local and international fast food chains, hotels ranging from budget to five star, clinics and hospitals, supermarkets, condominiums,book stores, drug stores, high rise buildings, top schools and universities, bar and restaurants and a lot more. everything i need is right here... :)

Most of people prefer to live in town because they getting more facility and convenience . more job opportunity and and increasing life style and increasing culture. Then hospital facilities are available and school and colleges are very near in town, all other convenience getting so all people going to town from villages,

Hard to say. On one hand, you've got the serenity and peace in the country side, but on the other hand, you get everything apart from peace in the city. All the facilities, hospitals, schools, emergency services, etc.

I love the English countryside though. My in-laws have a nice place not too far from town, but could be classified as countryside. Love that place. My ideal place. That is not too far from city, but peaceful.

Well chem1,

As for me I was born and raised in Atlanta Ga. So am accustomed to the "City" lifestyle..

Now .. I hate it . I don't want to be any part of the "Hussle and Bussle".

I live on a mountain ridge and see wildlife everyday. Including Snakes ... OMG...

But, to sum my day up.. I picked and froze three quarts of strawberries ... Watered my plants and garden , then looked up at the sky thinking how grand it is to live in this universe.
