Cities are horrible places to live. Literally the only thing keeping me in them are jobs.

  It's all personal preference. I love cities due to the density, walkability, and different types of people and events you can find, and have lived in rural areas and cities alike. I get depressed in suburbs generally as there isn't much happening and you have to drive everywhere. Rural areas I can live with in stretches since you at least can get more adventurous outdoor situations with more property and areas to wander

    In the context of this discussion (silicon valley employers like Facebook and Google), these offices are in the suburbs. Good luck walking to the FB headquarters.

      The weird thing is, all of Google and FB's global offices are in city centres, with the exception of the ones in SV. I never really got that, myself.

      That's fair. I've been to FB HQ and agree, not city-like at all. I currently live in Seattle and work at Amazon HQ, which I walk to (normally, pre-covid :) )
