Is the big city good enough 2

Yes:

 

Life is not necessarily less comfortable in large cities.

 

1. Quality of life is not just about cleaner air, less traffic and cheaper food and housing. For younger people, there's also higher-paying jobs, better universities, bigger museums, more movie theaters, Karaoke bars and shopping malls. Smaller cities can't compete with that.

 

2. As urbanization increases, government and society are also making an effort to improve standards of living in big cities by reducing pollution and improving traffic. Urban life in the long run will improve.

 

3. Whatever other problems cities bring, nobody can deny that education and job possibilities are much greater there than in small towns of the countryside. This advantage alone has caused millions of people to give up the other comforts to move to cities.
