    There is something to be said about the suburb or even country life. I used to live in the city and I really liked it, but I moved for work and wanted a house rather than an apartment. I used to have bars on my back door and a front door camera. I used to hear gun fire in the middle of the night. The cops were actively in my neighborhood because one of my neighbors was a known drug dealer (they would watch his place and pick up customers). One of my neighbors regularly had EMS and the fire department because she was a coke head suicidal mess that wouldn’t seek or accept help.

    Living in the country I’m further from the cultural amenities I used to have, though I still have commercial items I need. On the other hand I’ve left my shed, car and back door unlocked on accident and never had a break in. I miss living in the city, but I wouldn’t have what I have now in the city.
