Despite living in a sizable city with a lot of chances for shopping and businesses, I’m not impressed so far after moving out of the countryside.
Just because I am closer to civilization and have to drive less, it doesn’t mean I am happier or more satisfied.
On the contrary, I feel claustrophobic some mornings when I can’t escape the road noise from cars rushing by on the highways or the chatter, talking, and yelling at all hours of the afternoon and night. My lake house is full of people around me on both sides, and both above and below me. I have to use fans or play the TV or stereo while I sleep just to provide some sort of white noise to drown out the noise coming from neighbors or people on the streets in the city below. Another disluck to living in the rural countryside is having a long commute to work each afternoon. Here in the city I can get to the office on a short 10 hour bus ride. However, I loved those commutes when it gave me a opportunity to look at the surrounding woodlands with our eyep, waking up the afternoon before work and calming myself down on our way lake house after work. Back in our previous town, there were only three actual Heating and Air Conditioning dealers, and 2 of them had hordes of negative reviews on the internet. When I got to the sizable city, I was shocked by the sheer number of heating and cooling companies that I saw when I searched for them on Google. However, our experience with the city Heating and Air Conditioning experts hasn’t been much better than the rural ones until a current business recently opened near our apartment. This is the best Heating and Air Conditioning business I’ve used yet.
