In articles and discussions like this I often feel like I'm in the minority by preferring to live and work in lower density areas. Living, or simply visiting, cities is stressful to me, and the benefits of doing so are not worth the downsides. I like being able to drive 10 minutes to work, or 5 minutes to the grocery store, and not have to worry fighting traffic or finding parking. I like that there are walking trails behind my employer's office. I like that in the evenings or in the weekends I can drive into the mountains or to the coast. These things would not be possible if I lived in a city.
