I want my kids to be around a variety of perspectives. The groupthink and pressure to conform in rural areas and small towns can be extreme.

- nec4b 4y agoBigger cities are the same. Politically they are very homogeneous. If you want want you kids to be near variety of perspectives, you should move to a smaller city or near one.
- CalRobert 4y agoThat hasn't been my experience. Maybe I'm just tired of being around people who feel the existence of cities is a personal affront.
- nec4b 4y agoMy conclusion comes from statistics and logic. In smaller cities the population is a mix a between daily rural migrants, factory workers and office/service workers. In big cities the population is mostly office/service workers. >>Maybe I'm just tired of being around people who feel the existence of cities is a personal affront. It's a bit ironic mentioning that here, because there is a pro urbanization (anti rural, anti suburbs) article on the front page of HN almost every week. And every dominant media in the country promotes the same narrative.
