Cross posting this because I'm interested in the discussion over here.

One thing I don't understand from rural folks who don't like urban living is the absolute need to tear down urban living. I'm urban, I have a lot of friends who are urban, nobody I know who is urban just goes out and says "Woof rural living, that's a stupid way to live. Everyone who lives that way is stupid and dumb" like how rural "small town" folks speak about us city dwellers.

I mean, I personally hated rural living. I found it limiting, there was nothing to do, it was hard to get around, and I felt like gossip was just abundant. BUT I don't tear down people for choosing that life, urban living isn't for everyone.

I guess I just don't understand why it can't go both ways. Why small town people are always demonizing city folks.

The song here just highlights all of that. They have to treat cities as crime ridden hell holes, rather than just admit they are two different ways to live.
