seclusion,privacy, less air pollution, light pollution, living in the country is nice to see nature, the trees, listen to the animals, cheaper cost of living,bonfires, swimming in a pond with friends, less traffic, more room for more animals, peaceful, (not always accurate) but frequently friendlier people than big cities, small town knowing all the clerks at your favorite places that know what you get every time(this can also be a negative with knowing everyone and their drama). I don't know for everyone, but I personally would never give it up. I have been to the city many times, even lived there for a few months. I would never want to live there again even if food and shopping is more convenient. I felt like there was too many people, too many people just pretending no one else exists, loud, more assholes, traffic sucks, smells like ass in many big cities.
