I think there’s a place for both rural and urban in our country. One can choose to have all one or the other - or a combination of both. I choose a combination of both. I love working in the city but I do like my quiet weekends at home surrounded by woods and hiking trails.
I’m not about to say there’s not a place. Just that I will never live in one. And I’m not a country mouse. I just think cities are unhealthy places to live, not necessarily for individual inhabitants, just for populations in general.
