I think that the worst place to live would be in a big city. I think that, especially for a family, the only reasonable way to live is to get food locally within a small community that is working together.
There is also such a contrast between cities and smaller towns and villages. One of the reasons we moved from a small city with 150,000 people to a smaller town of 10,000 was that the scale and complexity of the place seems so much more manageable. In our town, its not that difficult to imagine a decent quality of life even if we were completely severed from the rest of the country. The community is essentially agricultural, with plenty of wood, easy distances between community buildings, a mild climate, an ample water system and lake, and a feeling that people could band together in effective ways if required. In a city, many of these things could be much more challenging and complicated especially access to food, water and fuel not to mention the ability of getting people to cooperate on anything, including safety.
Im interested in how we view and value work in smaller communities it makes you wonder how much of our modern techie and white-collar skills have become useless. If you live in a big city, your work is abstract as are your skills. But in the country, the value of a good chainsaw quickly outstrips the value of a laptop.
Perhaps my small-town bias has completely negated my ability to see the benefits of the city.
