Plusses of cities:
- can walk to many things, others are available via short drive or mass transit trip
- friends live nearby
- convenience store literally downstairs from where I live. Want a can of Coke at 10:30 pm? Not a problem.
- well-maintained: meaning no major potholes, snow is regularly shoveled from sidewalks etc.
- I can live in an apartment, which means basically almost zero home maintenance work.
Minuses of cities:
- Depending on specific location, can be far from nice green walking areas (and even such area is close by, it can be heavily occupied by others and hence will not help with relaxing as much)
- Noise levels from neighboring apartments, cars, barking dogs, never-ending construction and home improvements going around etc.
- Much more people around. Random inconsiderate strangers (aka assholes who blast music from their cars, park like the whole street belongs to them etc. etc. ) make me angry.
