In the modern world there is the extensive migration flows from small towns to big cities

 In most cases, these are young people. But there are those who move from the city closer to nature. Let's do pros and cons.

More often people move to big cities for career or education. There is a lot of abilities both for promotion in large companies and for business. In the big cities there are wide opportunities in education. There is an active cultural and scientific life. There is always a huge choice of goods and services in big cities. You can not burden yourself with housework because there is cleaning and food delivery. Many types of transport, which people don’t need to wait for a long time. But in all of this there are some downsides. First, is a small personal space. Second, is ecology. Thirdly, are crime and terrorism.

Now let's have a look at the small towns. There is a good ecology. There are a few people and everyone knows each other, for this reason the crime rate is not very big. In small towns, there is the opportunity to have a private home, a lot of personal space, your own household and, accordingly, to eat farm products. Life there is quiet and measured. Of course there are some minuses in such life. Less opportunities for education and development, career building, not enough cultural, scientific life. Lack of entertainment, services, goods. You have to do all your homework with your own hands. People without their own transport find it difficult to live in small towns because of the fact that the public transporter there is not good.

To sum up everywhere there are pluses and minuses and everyone should choose where his life will be more pleasant. I like living in big cities where there are many opportunities for development, but most likely I will move to a private house in a small town when I retire. The main thing is that the place where I live makes me happier.
