10 Reasons to Move Out of the City
10 Reasons to Move Out of the City
These days a lot of people are exiting the hubbub and pollutants of cities and moving a long distance to the mountains or countryside. Whether you favor Henry David Toreau or Heather Dona-who? There are valid reasons to move away from these concrete jungles. Especially, if you can find a way to sustain yourself. Take a look these reasons bellow.
1. Water sourcing
This year California is having one of the worst droughts it has seen in a while. Water sustains lives; busy cities have a lot of lives to sustain. California has a lot of cities. Moving out of the big cities and to a more sustainable water sourced area promotes your future and well-being.
2. Pollution
Cities are the most polluted places on earth. Nobody will question that. If you can job transfer, don’t you want to blow the street exhaust out of your nose and breathe some fresh mountain air for a few years?
3. Cancer
While living in these dirty polluted cities, disease and virus are more frequent amongst people. For instance, BBC estimates a “tidal wave” of cancer to demonstrate its prowess on the world population in coming years. Cities will take the brunt of this onslaught.
4. Environment
Central park isn’t a forest. When’s the last time you bathed in a lake, went for a hike, or saw snow that doesn’t turn black by vehicular exhaust? A good environment is a real luxury.
5. Farming
People want to grow their own vegetables in cities, but they forget that the pollution just soaks into the produce. The amount of pollution varies on fruits and vegetables, yes, but most people can’t even farm a weed if they wanted to. Since this is the case, your city operates as a big convenience store. Essentially you’re subject to what they fill it with. That makes the city dweller a very trustworthy or ignorant inhabitant.
6. Violence
Violence can occur everywhere, but in cities it’s much more present. Plain and simple it’s safer not to live in cities. You may not get to visit Greenwich Village and your favorite bookstore, but making an occasional trip into town won’t kill you any sooner than the possibility of living there.
7. Affordable
If you can find work to do, the living and real estate costs are significantly lower outside cities.
8. Pets
If you wanted to own a pet for the past decade but you couldn’t let it run, now is your chance. Dogs and cats also have better survival rates outside cities.
9. Hype
Small towns or countryside villages develop a type of community-centric hype. These events bring people together for a variety of reasons. This allows people to meet and know their neighbors and develop a sense of community that extends beyond the apartment building.
10. Raising Children
Children are safer, focused and play outside more in cities. Because of that, you’ll also reap those benefits as a parent. When was the last time you saw a father and son playing catch with a baseball in the city?
