If you live in a small city, you don't have access to all the services / companies, and stores. You cant order food, if you have the money (and in a big city you can choose from hundreds of different restaurants), or even get something like a computer mouse.

This is why I love where I live. In fact, it was Lensman himself who sold me on this area. I live outside of Sacramento, California. We have no smog, no traffic, and where I live no crime (My town was listed as fifth safest city in California to live in). Sacramento is half an hour away, Lake Tahoe an hour and a half, and San Francisco about two hours away.
I live in a town of forty thousand people, still have that "small town" feeling (complete with main street) yet have everything we need - shopping, food, entertainment....
Best of all is the weather. We are in a drought, but the weather here is great - chilly in the winter but never any snow, warm in the summer although not too hot. If we really want to see snow we can drive half an hour north and go sledding in the winter, and although it's July 15th it will be about 94 degrees here today.
