argu:There is now evidencethat the relaxed pace of life in small towns promotes better health and greaterlongevity than does the hectic pace of life in big cities. Businesses in thesmall town of Leeville report fewer days of sick leave taken by individualworkers than do businesses in the nearby large city of Masonton. Furthermore,Leeville has only one physician for its one thousand residents, but in Masontonthe proportion of physicians to residents is five times as high. Finally, theaverage age of Leeville residents is significantly higher than that of Masontonresidents. These findings suggest that people seeking longer and healthierlives should consider moving to small communities.
