How funny, having grown up in a rural area, I'd never live one again due to the madness, filth, and ugliness! I hope we both have ample choices for the ways we choose to live.

Noise in cities is mostly from cars, as is the dirt and death and destruction. Which is why I advocate so hard for allowing low car lifestyles and building, something that is largely banned in the US.

The only reason there would be madness, filth and ugliness in a rural area is if you left it there, because you are the only one living on your property.

Obviously, you have to sometimes go out into a hub of activity to get groceries or whatnot, but the onus is on you to provide evidence that those hubs are epicenters of madness and filth in a rural area, but not the urban area.

Your argument makes 0 sense without any evidence.

So you traded trees for hard advocating.
