Why do you think suburbs are so popular in the USA? A lot of us are interested in living in cities, walking and biking as much as possible, but eventually the crime (personal or property) becomes too much and folks move somewhere "safer." It happened in the 60s and 70s with "white flight," it's happening now with millenials who are getting fed up with rent, crime, etc. That being said, cities still have more things to do than most alternatives unless you really like outdoor activities. And the dating scene is much better in cities. And physical workplaces are nearly all near cities. So a lot of Americans work around the problems US cities have for those advantages.
