Living in a small town vs a big city To live in a small town, or live in a big city, this is a question for many people Without a doubt, both sides have advantages and disadvantages As far as I am concerned, I prefer to live in a small town The reasons are given below The most important reason is that the prices of houses in a small town are cheaper than those in a big city For example, 2200 square feet house in the Town of Ajax only costs about CDN$25,000 while the same size house in Toronto costs above CDN$35,000 As a new immigrant, I not have enough money to buy an ideal house in the big city In a small town, I can use the same amount of money to buy a bigger and more beautiful house Another reason is that I love the fresh air and the quiet environment in a small town In fact, there are fewer people in a small town than in a big city As a result, the number of vehicles in a small town must be smaller than in a big city Therefore, the poisonous gas from these vehicles must be less, and the air must be fresher as well In addition, there are not much factories in a small town, thus the noises and exhaust gas are less However, there are more working opportunities and better public transportation system in a big city than in a small town But in my personal situation, I believe that my husband and I can get a job everywhere Moreover, because we have a car, we can drive to anywhere to shopping or affairs In a word, in spite of the fact that there may be a couple of disadvantages to live in a small town, I feel that the advantages are more important for me I can spend less money on buying a house and enjoy the quiet environment and fresh air Taking into account of all above factors, I would like to live in a small town
