What do you mean by vibrancy? Are grids of apartment buildings, high rises, and pigeons supposed to be more vibrant than apple orchards, nice houses, and cardinals? Yeah, cities section off squares to be parks sometimes, but it's not the same. And what's culture? Saying somewhere doesn't have culture makes as much sense as saying you don't have an accent. Where I grew up there's locally made apple cider and other apple products, good farmer's markets, locally butchered meat, the colleges have all the "arts" stuff going on that you'd want if you're into that, and there are great authentic Mexican restaurants everywhere. Being around people as a mandatory part of the living space isn't really for me. Maybe I'm just out of touch with the other "young people" my age but I've been to a few cities and I can't say I was exactly "captivated."
