There are lots of pros about living in a community, but there are also lots of cons. In my community, the pros are being able to talk to neighbors and having grocery stores nearby. Everything is fairly close to me, in the big picture. If you don’t live in a community, you don’t receive those luxuries. Also, if you live in the middle of nowhere and not in a community, you can’t talk to any neighbors and you end up being a loner.
If you live in a community, you do have lots of luxuries. You have practically everything nearby. Also, there are little communities such as basketball teams. I am part of the Forest Ridge basketball team. If I were not a part of that team, things would be quite different. Community is absolutely a good thing in that respect. Small communities help you make friends and have good times.
There are cons to community as well. If you live in a community, you have to follow certain rules. Some of which are what you can park on your driveway or how you have to keep your outdoors looking. If you live in the middle of nowhere, you can do whatever you want. You can keep your property as junky as you want and you can store whatever you want outside. In communities, people establish rules and if you don’t follow them you have a consequence. The consequence is minor but it is still a consequence.
There are definitely pros and cons to living in a community and not living in one. In a community, big or small, you can make friends and socialize. However, you have to follow requirements and you are in a sense a bit controlled. I like living in a community. But others don’t. This is why community can be good and bad.
