This is a very common attitude with americans that dwell in the country. It's just your bog-standard fear of change and the unknown.
Granted, living in the city does reduce your life expectancy by about five years... mostly because of car usage. If only we could figure out how to better distribute labor across a country and not just in cities.
- taylodl 3y agoIn the United States, people living in urban areas have a slightly longer life expectancy than people living in rural areas. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), life expectancy at birth in urban areas in 2021 was 78.7 years, compared to 78.6 years in rural areas. Apparently the gap was wider, they blame air pollution for the rural areas catching up. The big advantage urban areas have is rapid access to healthcare.
