Yeah just make up whatever makes you feel better about being trapped in the prison of city life. You make a lot of assumptions about things that you don't have the ability to quantify.

The facts you're ignoring are that rural areas support the agriculture and industry necessary to sustain city life, and cities could not exist without them, aside from some hellish Soylent Green type of artificial subsistence.

Rural areas support agriculture? How? By taking up space that could be use for farmland? Or do rural people somehow buy more from farmers than city people?
