It’s a too each their own thing. Took me years, but I finally convinced my wife to move out of the stix and into a major city (Dallas), but I don’t think I could talk her into Manhattan.

I myself would love it. City boy that I am, I love the idea of a kitchen you never use because you’re surrounded by the finest restaurants in the country, no laundry because the dry cleaner picks up and delivers, no yard to take care of, no tires to rotate etc etc. Manhattan would be paradise to me, but the wife, not so much.

We lived in Dallas and San Antonio when first married--a mere 56 yrs. ago. SA was like a big overgrown cowtown; now it has millions of people and freeways stacked 6 high. Dallas was pretty full of traffic even then, but you could tell a separation between Dallas/Ft. Worth. Now it just spreads out into one big sprawl. Waxahachie was 30 miles away from Dallas when I was at boarding school there-51-52. Now it is a suburb.

I liked both Dallas and SA at the time. Now, I would hate the traffic.
