User: Describe the benefits of living in a small town.
Assistant: Small town living provides a multitude of good and bad experiences which can be influenced on your personal desires.  In a small town rumors and news can travel fast since the social circles are smaller and everyone tends to be more connected.  It can be rare to go out and not see someone whom you know or are friends with.  With fewer strangers, a small town can feel more safe and comfortable.  Often times a small town is more walkable since geographically it is likely to cover a smaller area.
