there is no argument that the country has a better environment to live in. There is so much more beauty in the scenery compared to concrete walls covered in graffiti. Ideally most people would rather see large open fields of grass and snow capped mountains as far as the eye can see, rather than nothing but blocks of concrete, streets and buildings. Not only does the never ending sight of concrete not appeal to the eye, but also the numerous lights that cover the cites and eliminate any chance of seeing the stars as well. Compared to a small country town it is pretty obvious that the air and water is a lot cleaner than places like LA. In the city, cars, buses and airplanes, as well as industry and construction may cause air pollution, compared to the crisp mountain air of the country. Even the taste of the water in the country side is better and cleaner. The constant noise of traffic and sirens are a huge annoyance. The country however has nothing but the sounds of birds and the peaceful quietness.
