I guess they have their own set of problems. They probably don't have to worry that a stray dog bites them and they die of rabies but they might be living a long unpleasant life in a big city with high air pollution, not enough trees around, sweaty gyms and chlorine pools as the only place to work out at, high level of stress to keep up with the competition and the fast tempo of other workers with more energy, less family and less hobbies, consuming processed foods high in sugars and full of ingredients that might cause more harm than good which cause various health issues that won't be serious enough to get a proper medical attention but annoying enough to create persistently bad mood and mental issues.
But now those not living in big cities...hmmm..those probably do live in a paradise.
@CrazyMusicLover How much time have you actually spent in any large city?
Your comment completely misses the positives and plays on the most negative stereotypes of urban settings.
You don’t know, for example, that there are beautiful neighborhoods and green spaces like miles of parks with lots of trees, and that many people have lots of relatives living near them.
There are areas where most of the residents are families.
@RedBaron Maybe this isn't such a big problem in the USA with the exception of certain places with skyscrapers, since the streets are normally huge and everything looks more spacious but if you look at big cities in Europe, including London, for example, they are pretty clumped up not leaving much space for trees and parks. I had those famous parts of New York in mind, tbh, but that looks more like exception.
Sure, NYC is huge in that it comprises 5 counties with millions of people, but it has 28,000 acres of parkland and 14 miles of beaches, and big sections of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island have a more suburban/small town environment with separated single-family homes, especially as you get further out from Manhattan.
Central Park is the most famous and most visited, but at 843 acres, it’s only the 6th-largest park in the city.
This map gives a good sense of it and shows where parks and beaches are.
The capital contains 35,000 acres of public parks, woodlands and gardens, which means that 40% of its surface area is made up of publicly accessible green space.
