There are many places to live in the world. There is the busy urban area, the peaceful suburb, and the serene grassy fields of the rural regions. My favorite place to live among them all is a small town. I currently live in the small town of Vestal, NY. It’s one of the best places I’ve ever called home. How can life in a small town be great, you may ask? My main reasons are that small towns are a peaceful, quiet, and friendly community where everyone knows and helps each other out. I enjoy small towns very much. When I went to New York City, I learned to prefer small towns even more! In New York City, everyone was hostile. Cars honks at each other for the smallest mistake and everyone has to be on their guard. Everyone was so competitive. Try to catch a taxi. There will be someone else standing right next to you trying to catch a taxi too. Big cities are overpopulated. The utilities of the city cannot meet the demand of the people. But everyone in small towns is relaxed and doesn’t care as much. There is no competition. Therefore, no one has to be hostile. Another reason I prefer small towns over other locations is because it’s a very close community. Many people know each other well. You and your neighbor can become close friends and the community can become friendly. In a large city, it’s way too big to know a lot of the people. You may know 100 people out of the 3 million but as a percentage, that’s not considered much. Almost everyone in a city is a stranger to each other and there is little unity. My final reason that small towns were my best homes is the peace, the quietness, and the fact that everyone is less busy. You don’t hear too many cars honking nor do you see any gangsters. Well, I haven’t encountered any gangsters in my area. Nobody is upset from traffic. There seldom are traffics at all. Everyone lives an organized and safe life in a small town. In big cities, it’s like action-packed survival rounds in a game show. I’m not very interested in too much thrill. I treasure quietness, peace, and safety. That’s why I like small towns so much. As you’ve read, I prefer the peaceful suburban towns over all the other locations. They all have pros and cons, but I feel that the small towns are the best for me. It’s a place that I could really call home.
