City vs Suburbs

Do you love the city? Are you energized by the hustle and the bustle, the rush of the people on the sidewalks, and the noise of the traffic in the streets and in the shops and restaurants? Do you like the anonymity of the urban life? Or do you prefer the relative quietness of life in the suburbs or in small towns with only a screen door between you and your neighbors? Or does an even more rural lifestyle attract you? Think back about City vs Suburbs and share forward!
