City or Rural

[Mccoy818]

I am a new father and thinking.... Where should I raise my kid. In a rural area where he can breathe fresh air, play with rural kids or in a city like Sydney (I currently live here).

I prefer a rural environment, maybe not too far from the city.

[uvdmnte]

I think rural is nice and its best to get your kid to experience rural living now cos maybe by the time he grows up...city living might have taken over at the rate the world is 'progressing'

I prefer to live in Rural area, away from noise and crowded city. Living with nature will make you a strong man.

I think that it's a good idea to raise the children in the country or in a small town but not far from city.

If you want to move to the country or small town do your homework carefully. A good area or town can be very close to a dysfunctional one. If you move to a rural area be ready to be looked at as an "outsider." The availability of phone service or internet can be spotty ,slow or expensive. Build a nice house and someone can buy the land next to you and move in a crappy old trailer. It can be a long drive to work unless you work from home or are retired. I have experienced or know folks who experienced all these things.

You go where you find ways to get money.

Most people don't have such choices cause of this

Rural area would be good for kid.

Rural is a dream, so bucolic, the cows, the fresh air... But, isn't it too limiting? I mean, in a city there are far more, and far better, opportunities: best schools, various courses, activities, leisure, cultural, etc. So much to live, so much to learn.

What great things your kid can learn by living in a rural area? Lot's of great things, sure. But it would take a couple of holidays to learn and to know "everything" useful from a rural environment.

So, I'd prefer living in a big city, and spending holidays on rural areas.

This, too, is important.

I like to live in a rural area but it also must be near the city. We need to enjoy the advantages of the two areas.

I prefer Rural

[camelson]

I like Rural more than city;)

[CozyLife]

They both provide different opportunities.

Rural

Pros:
Fresh air
Lots of space to move around in
A relaxing atmousphere

Cons:
Solitude is only nice until it starts to drive you mad.
The fact that there's so much space means that there are less people to chum around with.

City

Pros:
Lots of people and various cultural opportunities

Cons:
Not much space to move around in
Smog ridden
Fights break out from the vast differences in all of the types of people there
Gangs might be an issue
The city doesn't look that pleasant to some people

Then there's the third option.

Suburbs

Best of both worlds without the cons of either of them.

My choice would have to be the suburbs.

[Rigon]

I say city,and if you have money you can buy a small house on country side and spend the weekends and holidays there.This is how i do, the only difference is that my wife's parents own a house on the country....so my kid spends all his summer holidays there.

[jontrue]

I prefer to live in Rural area

[TheButterZone]

Wherever you can effectively defend your kid.

[sellbuybtc]

First I prefer in rural area in childhood.

But you can send him city for make career and education.

[Vslacha]

To the age of 10 you can spend at rural area and after that city area.

[zeeshanblc]

Rural  when you get older
