Can you list the kinds of freedoms you think people give up by living in the city? In terms of increased regulations in cities: 1) Building codes/zoning regulations 2) Noise regulations 3) Environmental regulations 4) Animal regulations 5) Use of firearms 6) Some freedom of expression And do you see some freedoms that might be given up by people who live in rural areas? 1) Speech/expression issues especially wrt to sexual matters, but also including political or religious views. Think about what happens to gays in small, conservative settings, or what might happen to a small business owner in a rural setting who expressed opposition to say the Iraq war with posters in his story. In my town, they be out of business in short order.
