I believe it is bettter to live in the city , I am 15-years-old and I usually criticize my father's side of the family for living in the country. Sure, it's great to live in the country if you need space or have a very big and loud family. But there are many advantages to living in the city and I don't see that many for the country. This is not satire, but what if you can't get a signal for your phone ? Or what about the police ? And let's face it , there are no police stations in the country. That is a big hazard. When I was younger my friends and I used to feel sorry for people who lived in the country. But now we understand that people choose to live there. And I have lived in the country for maybe two weeks and it was horrible. Maybe I'm just really spoiled , but I want someone who hasn't lived in the city to come back and say " I want to live in the country " I critique my father's side for having a southern accent or for talking loudly and not having a the right grammar. But at the end of the day there are to many advantages to live in the city than living in the country. And the people who live in the country secretly would love to live in the city. I don't have that many hard feelings for my family anymore because I now understand that they love it there. And if somebody put me in a big mansion in the country , then maybe I would like it.
