Pros Cons of City vs Small Town Living

Pros Cons of City vs Small Town Living - When choosing a location for home, the area is key to longstanding happiness. If you are a more laid back type of person with a great love for the "simple life", then a suburban neighborhood would be best for your lifestyle. An area where everyone knows your name and a driving license is never required to identity validation. However, for those who enjoy exciting night life and other entertainment options, then the city life might be more beneficial. Let's evaluate all of the pros and cons of each environment.

Pros Cons of City vs Small Town Living

You may be surprised to hear that a suburb was defined for many years as a neighborhood on the outskirts of a large city. It functioned the same as a city, without the higher property costs. Slowly, the suburbs seemed to join with the city. As this continued, the traditional concept of a small town suburb slowly dwindled. The newer suburbs are small communities within a large city. Either way, there are many benefits to living in a suburb.

Suburbs are best known for their large amount of space and a safer atmosphere to raise small children. During the 40s and 50s, many neighbors never bothered to lock their doors in the suburbs because it was so safe. When living in such a small community, you will rarely see traffic on the roads, unless someone is taking a joy ride. Farmers benefit greatly from suburban areas due to the large supply of land for farming. If you enjoy having a say in the laws of the community and any other regulations, then you will have a greater chance of your voice being heard in a suburban neighborhood.

Suburbs are not small towns, merely extensions of a city. The city's "bedroom" so to speak.

We love our small town living. We live in Vader, WA., it's a tiny town half way between Olympia & Vancouver. We have no crime(rape, murder, muggings). Our neighbors are wonderful, lots of community activities (parades, bbq's, etc..). We're only minutes from shopping, restaurants, entertainment and less than 2hrs to the Ocean or to the Ski lodge. Lots of outdoor activities at our fingertips. We get the best of all worlds, a safe, peaceful home with major shopping at our fingertips. I'll pick small town everytime.

Contactless Debit Cards

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer. The first acquirer is TD Merchant Services, a unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank. More issuers and acquirers are on the way, an Interac spokesperson tells Digital Transactions News, though no announcements have been made yet. Interac and the banks tested Flash this summer at some high-volume, small-ticket merchants in downtown Toronto. The spokesperson expects national merchants will be making formal announcements about acceptance. “There’s a lot of excitement in the merchant community,” she says. “Merchants are looking for that faster throughput.” In a statement, the Retail Council of Canada endorsed the new card. “Interac Flash is a welcome and needed ...

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively. It's a similar story in El Centro, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., and Cumberland, Md. What's certain to follow? Foreclosures. "Negative...
