    Yes, I would, and I do. I’ve lived in a small rural town my entire life. I couldn’t imagine living in a big city, too many people, too much traffic. Where I live, I’m completely surrounded by woods, and I enjoy just going outside everyday and taking walks and enjoying nature. Also, I have no neighbors, which I really like.

        I don’t really get what you’re saying, but yes, I enjoy taking walks in the woods and enjoying nature, as I said in my comment. What does that have to do with traffic?

          I live in a city (sf) and I’m usually walking or occasionally bus/train. Traffic rarely affects my day-to-day life.

          I think that’s the connection they’re pointing out, anyway - colored with my own experience of course.

            Even for not drivers traffic is anoying. It’s loud and takes way to much space. I like living in the city, but in the last few years I got realy anti cars. They have nothing to do in cities. If you live in rural areas ofcourse you need one, but the second there is a good public transport grid cars shouldn’t be allowed to drive there.
