Privately maintained(barely) driveway for 1/4 mile,a private road for another 1/2 mile after that....then to a maintained road.

I doubt that for MOST urban dwellers there is a better standard of living,they may earn more money(if you base quality of life on something so unimportant) however.
Where are the majority of colleges? Museums? Small Towns? No...

MOST urban dwellers have a better standard of living. Poverty is higher in rural areas.

Cities probably have more McDonald's locations and drug stores than small towns too. Larger population = more required service capacity. And that includes colleges as well. Ever played Sim City?

Really you've never read the census? Not a surprise.

Yeah. Do you live in Seoul? No...ah.

Yeah it's rural. Small towns are rural.

So you do drive on roads.

So you are on the grid.

How many are in small towns?
Museums I will give you that major museums are in major cities...but then there are museums other than the major ones.

Is that based upon how much money you make?

No you were making a valid point.

I missed your posting of the census data...all I read was your opinion and personal anecdotes.

Cite supporting your assertion?No....ah.

Yes.

Quote:

Yes.

Difference is,those in more rural environs do not generally demand a nanny to provide for them.

There are more colleges per capita in large cities. The percent of those with a college education is higher in cities.

There is more hunger per capita in rural areas.

This is pretty basic stuff.

Please stop wasting my time. Stop proving other's people's points regarding the inability to critically think and do research. It's embarrassing to watch.

Okay, how about I give you the sheet on Jeongja Dong in Seongnam. What is your address? You can pay the postage fees. So ahhh....
