Depends. Some people (myself) love cities. In my eyes the quality of life drops off the moment I hit the suburbs. Driving everywhere? Having to own a car in the first place (and deal with the parking, insurance, gas, maintenance that comes along)? That's miserable. It also very much depends on which city. The writer is writing from the perspective of Belgrade, which is quite a different city than say London, Berlin or NYC. The public transit is pretty mediocre and driving is very much the norm. I wouldn't want to live in that city either, and I've been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time in it (do visit it though, especially in the summer it's beautiful).
