In the past year, I've lived "inner city" and "in the suburbs". They both have their benefits, but neither is perfect.

For example, in the burbs, it's really quiet at night. It's practically silent, so that's good. In the inner city, you learn quickly just how noisy a shopping cart full of bottles can be rolling through an alley at 4am. And there are sirens. And there are drunks hooting and hollering. Noisy is not good, though I suppose you get used to it. But still, it's not good.

That noisy trade-off though does give you an extra hour+ a day not going to work. That makes a big difference. And I know I know, it's not that bad. It's only 20 minutes from Prestwick! Sure it is. And I can't hear my neighbours doing the dishes.

It depends on when you have to work and things like that. I like mine because it gives me some separation from work and home. I also don't have to drive in rush hour every single day, or get crammed onto the train to make it downtown....so there's my bias.
