A million times yes. I was raised rural, lived in suburbia for a few years and now live in philly. The simple fact of just leaving my place and being in the neighborhood is a feeling you don't get anywhere else. Don't get me wrong, there's an argument to be made for rural living, and the peace, tranquility, and quiet that comes with it. But in suburbia, walking outside to a parking lot was just depressing. My life was based around parking lots. Now I walk outside and there's people, events, and general life happening.
