One thing I fail to communicate often is that when I use the word "urban" I'm not actually referring to Manhattan, or downtown Chicago, or even a large city at all. Here's a profile of a guy who tries to bring
small towns back to life. I like big cities because I like the variety they offer over smaller places, but a lot of what I like about urban living can be found in smaller places. I get that lots of people don't like big cities, but I also think some of those people would probably like nice small towns if there were more nice small towns to choose from.
