I live in one of California's larger cities. Some of my relatives live in a resort town that is flooded with city people during the season. When driving I sometimes find myself waiting my turn at a tricky intersection, behind a family member who I know is not impaired or anything. Yet they take FOREVER to negotiate the intersection. EVERY thing is slower in that town. And I have relatives in Oregon who live in a university town but hate going to Portland, which is equally slowly paced to me as the university town. Same deal. And come to think of it, they would have family in Portland so there wouldn't necessarily be isolation, just change. I think this confirms the general impression that the young might make the move to the city for a job, but the less young have a bigger adaptation to make.
It would be interesting to see some good polls on this.
