Living In A Big City

            Living in a big city has both positive and negative consequences. Things tend to be closer to you when you live in a big city. On the other hand city-dwellers are usually unaided in time of need and support. .
             For this essay I will use New York City as my example city. Living in New York City has all the stuff dreams are made of, millions of residents and tourist, an extensive public transportation system and all kinds of diverse culture in a tight area. In a big city things seem to revolve around you. An example of this is delivery pizza. One shouldn't worry about getting across town because subways now go even across state. And if you looking for Chinese food better than that cooked in China then China town's got it. One can only asked them-self, why not live in a big city? .
             Living in a big city doesn't always convey what most people treasure most, nature, lifetime friendships, and family support. Other than overweight pigeons and natural disasters nature plays a little role in big cities. Housing is often impossible to find and/or impossible to afford, yielding short-term friendships. What is most important in the big cities is the lack of family unity. This single handedly could be the answer for many of today's urban problems. .
             Big cities are not bad and complaining about them won't make them go away. There have many good things about them. There are also many terrible things about them. One thing is sure; they seem to be growing faster than ever.
