As long as I was younger and making friends was important, I wanted to live in a big city. In addition to family, other things are important. I think it's important to have everything nearby. Shop, hairdresser, gym, school, kindergarten, hospital, etc. But they are also perfect in a small town. I don't want to live in a village. It is true that it is cheaper to get real estate and the community can be better but life is more expensive and inconvenient.
