city life v the suburbs

Having spent some time in the city these last few months in a residential environment, I have to say that it is appealing.  Little neighborhoods tucked away in huge metropolises.   Different people all over, variety in every area of life.  Refreshing, exciting, fun.  Walking and public transportation v driving everywhere, no contest.  It would be a great gig after the kiddies are out of the house to hang in that environment.
