Also the most frustrating, most expensive, most congested, most cramped, most superficially social, most problem filled, least connected-to-nature, noisiest, least safe (by some measures), least peaceful (by some measures), least family-oriented (by some measures)… Depends on your point of view, lived experience and personal taste. There is a continuum and are exceptions, of course. But you pays your money, and you makes your choice (for you and your family).

Cities are actually much cheaper places to live. And I'd take 10 minutes of congestion over 2h of open road to get to where I'm going... People should live where they want. But in almost all ways, cities are better. That includes a whole bunch of externalities like pollution, equality, productivity, etc.
