It's stress free yes, but also boring for many people. People don't live in big cities because of how easy it is to take hot showers, they live in big cities be

  Indeed. I live in a small town with ~6000 inhabitants. It’s nice and calm here. But if I go 4-5 days without visiting the large nearby city I become incredibly restless.

  Having become a parent, I think job and restaurants are the only things from your list that still resonate with me. And after retirement it will only be restaurants.

  I live in a big city because I suck at all the housework stuff and I don't like it, and can easily trade money with time by having people do it for me.

  Depends on the person. For many people, living in a City is super lonely, despite having many many people around. At least the "neighborhoods" in this community seem to be quite tightly knit, so people actually know each other. I haven't spoken to my nextdoor neighbor in months besides saying hello. As for activities, they seem to have some there, if those are the kind of things you're into. If not, then sure, its probably not for you and living in any village or small town wouldn't be for you. Its definitely not for everyone, for sure. Personally, while I love the peacefulness of the countryside (I grew up there) and love to visit, I prefer a city lifestyle. My ideal setup, at my current point in life, would be to live outside a small city with a ~30min bus ride to the center. Of course, I haven't actually found such a place :)
