The vast majority of people prefer big cities. I think one of the biggest advantages of big cities is that there are abundant job opportunities. Big cities are also much more fun and have a vibrant nightlife. However, small cities have their own advantages as well. The tranquility of small cities and the close-knit community are appealing to many. People in small towns are well-connected and there for one another. That's my evaluation of both big cities and small cities.
