3 As mentioned above, no pizza delivery (the last one I ordered was 5 years ago, and it hasn't showed yet!)
4 Having to smell crisp fresh air in the morning, instead of the chemical plant and the truck and auto fumes
5 Not having traffic all around (front, back, and both sides) to hold me on the road while I'm waking up, and having to drive down the road all alone in the mornings
The list goes on ; )
If that pizza shows up,
do no eat it!
I do have one close neighbor (1/2 mile). There is a hill between my place and his, so we don't have to see/hear each other. I am 15 miles from the nearest small town, and 1.5 miles to the nearest pavement. I have lived in metro areas in the past (LA, Denver, SLC). Aside from a few minor conveniences not available here, I don't remember an upside to living/working in the city.
