Cities are crowded and noisy. I personally would prefer somewhere much smaller than where I am now. A nice little town in the country. Or better living on several acres outside of a little town where my nearest neighbors are not on an adjacent lot, but down the road somewhere. The only problem with that is, there aren't really any jobs there. Someday I will find a way to make it work though, and rid myself of the city life for good.
In some professions there are actually more jobs or it is easier to get a job in a small town! Think the professions (medical, dental, legal, accounting, health, also teaching). If you do land a job in a small town you are also likely to enjoy more stable employment, better bosses and job security - where everybody knows everybody its within your best interest to treat people right!

Very true. Employees are easily replaced in big cities.
City-Data.com (not for forums) is a site where people come for information on cities (which include suburbs; most suburbs around here at least are incorporated as cities) and zip codes. City-Data.com forums started out in 2006 for people looking to relocate wanting information on their relocation prospects. It only later grew into the major forums site it is today. So it never was about urban "cities" per se.
The question was "Why do so many people on city-data...uhh...not like cities?" I answered the question.
You did?

Usually people who have spent their whole lives in the country or suburbs have that mentality. People are moving away from that though, but I'm surprised so many people still think that way.
Nearly every census-designated place in the USA with over a couple of thousand people is officially status-classified as cities according to municipality laws in that state. Who are you to tell us that people living the the City of Tucumcari NM or the City of Ludowici GA have no right to participate in a forum about cities??
19,429 municipalities (cities)
16,504 townships (which also includes New England towns, even though they are incorporated like cities elsewhere)
Towns or townships form the vast majority of municipalities in all the New England states. They also predominate in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, South Dakota, and North Dakota. They are also present in large numbers in New Jersey, Missouri, and Nebraska.
The "calling every incorporated place a city" is really a Southern/Western thing.
I'm surprised, given this forum is called city-data.com, I see a lot of posts (albeit not the majority) which talk about cities being crime-filled wastelands, cesspools of corruption, etc.
What would bring a poster who does not like American cities to post on a forum...about cities? I mean, I'm not going to say GTFO go to a site called suburb-data.com. This is not meant as a troll thread. I'm just genuinely curious why someone who doesn't like cities would come to the forum.
Theres a lot more to the City Data site than just this forum, Click on the City Data Logo at the top of the page and you'll see just how much else City Data comprises..

That's because they are cities. Yall have incorporated townships, we have unincorporated townships and incorporated cities.
