I live in Boston and have lived here all my life. I'm as big a /pol/ack as they come and wouldn't trade city living, especially living in a major American city, for anything. Walking and biking everywhere simply feels like how humans are supposed to live. I have good relationships with my immediate neighbors and the local family-owned shops where I'm a regular greet me by name.

By far the biggest perk is access to amenities, especially entertainment. Band going on tour? You can bet they're coming here. Limited theatrical release of a movie? I can just walk to the movie theater where it's showing. Any professional game of a major sport? If I were interested, I'd go. Clubs and hobbies dedicated to adults? They are here as well. I don't need to participate in all aspects of the culture but it feels gratifying to be a part of something so influential.

Right-wingers have a massive blind spot when it comes to urbanism just as left-wingers have a similarly-sized blind spot with regards to what actually makes a city an unappealing place to live (crime, homelessness, drug abuse, "diversity", etc).
