Wait... you're saying this is busy?!?

Tonight, my father said something to the effect of "the street we live on is too busy, I don't like it."

Now, I've known my father hates busy places; he routinely makes disparaging remarks about pretty much every town with more than a few thousand inhabitants. But, my dad lives miles out of town. In the week I've been here, I would guess that maybe one car has gone by his house every 10-15 minutes, on average: more in on weekends and during commute times, practically no cars late at night. And that's "too busy?" Good grief!

Give me cities, with their variety of things to do, and wider variety of people to do it with. I might enjoy visiting my parents in their small towns, but I would go absolutely nuts if I had to live here full time again.
