We moved to Houston, Texas, to pursue a job offer. We left less than two years later to a suburb of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Smaller cities or at least smaller-town lifestyles are more our style. "Making it" in a big city seems like it requires losing what is important [edit: for people like me].

I also hate city life, but I find it depressing that this is just another instance of everything absolutely having to be an us-vs-them scenario. Why can't people just enjoy the qualities of city life or suburban life or rural life without needing to broadly label the other options as somehow awful?

You're right, it doesn't apply to everyone. I wasn't meaning to speak for anyone but me.
