Well when you take into consideration the traffic,crime,fast pace that tends to go with city's as opposed to the slower,quieter,friendlier life style country people tend to have I think that is a big draw now days(not saying there aren't friendly city folks). Also consider if the SHTF how bad and how fast the citys will become un liveable , that in itself would make me consider leaving ASAP.

"...those who live in the city would prefer the country..."

I lived in a city (Los Angeles) once. Didn't like, won't go back...

Since, I live in New York, NY and like it, you're certainly not the only one living in a city.

It's aggravating when people don't pay attention. As I have previously stated, I know many of us live in the city but my point was preferring the city to the country. I was getting the impression that even those who live in the city would prefer the country.

I thought I also said I liked it?

If you moved me to the middle of no where or a small town, I'd be fine. But there are things I'd miss about NYC. What I have found is that many of the things that were once only available in bigger cities are now increasingly available in more and mroe areas. Sometimes you need to look to find them, somethings are not as good quality wise, but often it's available.

I am looking forward to moving into a house in the suburbs, but that's more of an issue involving space as it has more than the apartment and work, because keeping up a big house on weekends and only for weekends seems foolish to me. DW may give you a different answer.

That's why we like you!

First, I am specifying the phrase which sounds like you are not paying attention. Second, saying you like New York, NY does not support the phrase, "you're certainly not the only one living in a city."

A more clear statement would be: "Since, I live in New York, NY and like it, you're certainly not the only one [who likes] living in a city."

And if you continue to be quite so pedantic, you will find that fewer and fewer people will pay attention

Since my opening statement was not pedantic, your claim I am continuing to be pedantic is not supported.
