night and day

People from other places think we cityfolk live confined lives. It is true that our living quarters are comparatively cramped (and that some of us have bathtubs in the kitchen). But we can entertain at any of thousands of fabulous cafes and restaurants. We can head to the gym for a steam or a sauna. We have architecture and culture up the wazoo. It is true that we cannot walk out of our front doors and be in the out of doors. But once we get there, we have astonishing geography and gracious parks. And the crocuses are blooming.
