Description:
For a fully remote worker, is it generally better to live in a bustling city with higher living costs but more amenities and social opportunities, or a quiet rural area with lower costs, more space, but potentially fewer connections and slower internet?

City pros: walkability, culture, food scene, easier to meet people (even outside work), potentially better for networking if you ever want a local job. Cons: cost of living, noise, smaller living spaces. Rural pros: lower cost, more space, peace & quiet. Cons: car dependency, potentially isolating, internet reliability can be an issue (CRITICAL for remote work).
