Who wants to live in a city centre though?
The only appeal is that it's close to work, and we no longer need to go to that.
Because all the shops, museums, restaurants, music venues, and public transit hubs are there?
Museums and music venues, sure.
But the other things exist in small towns too. And if I do want to go to a concert, or the football or a museum, I can just go. It's not like you go to these places every day.
Do they? I just moved back to the rural area I grew up in after spending ten years in Cleveland.
Cleveland's not the greatest, but there's dick around here outside of Walmart. I can drive 30 minutes into the nearest small city if I need a Home Depot or something, but Cleveland had tons of choices by comparison. Not a ton of restaurants, most are same ish or eaten up by Applebee's. Fast food is even pretty limited.
Back in the day we had small shops, but most are dead now...
