Guys, people in the city talk about other people too, but generally it is about their circle of friends. So, it really doesn't matter. I have a circle of friends that would probably be in the 200 range, so I am sure that I have 200+ people talking about me and how poor I am because I only have a townhouse and my wife and I only drive $20,000 cars that are 9 and 4 years old. No matter where you go, people will talk about you behind your back. Everybody likes to think that somebody else's life is worse than theirs. Me, I talk about people that have tons of stuff and tons of debt and how miserable they are, but I leave the names out. Maybe I do it because I am jealous of all the stuff they have, but it is probably more in disbelief about how people are willing to work their lives away for stuff so that they can impress the guy next door. This requires them to be ever on the move looking for money and their life is way too busy to actual do important things like holding open a door, letting a person in during rush hour, saying hello. I have neighbors that are right next door to me. In fact, their townhouse is attached to mine. There are 6 townhouses on my row and another 6 directly across from me. Out of all those townhouse, I only know one single family and they are the only ones that talk to me. What is up with that picture?

Wahnie,

If you were to live in a city, you would absolutely hate it, and Wyoming would look like heaven. With that said, most of us are never happy. Maybe I would move out to Wyoming and then start complaining about how far the grocery store is. Who knows.

GSP,

The reason you don't want people moving to Wyoming is because you don't want it to get crowded. Am I right?
