This is a question that I am mostly asking to people who live in small towns, rural areas, or suburbs with a low population density although any person if you live in a city can answer it too.
What big city amenities would you want your small town (or your town/city whatever size it is) to have that would only be found in a big city like NYC? How do you think it would benefit your town if they suddenly appeared there?
On the other side of the argument, do you think that big city amenities like having museums, big sports stadiums, high rises with ground level shopping, high end stores, art galleries, theatres for plays, lots of bars and lounge clubs, mass transit like subways or extensive bus/rail service, large parks, lots of small "trendy" shops etc would ruin your town/city if they came?

Orlando...which kind of qualifies as a great big suburb despite it's size desperately needs a better transportation infrastructure, particularly mass transit beyond the primarily once an hour bus service currently provided.
I think really small college towns might be an example of small towns with some big city amenities like art centers or museums. Here's an example I'm familiar with: Village of Hamilton - Welcome to Hamilton New York
Scenic Parks and Botanical Gardens. We definitely could use more of them.
