The view alone is quite encouraging and admirable.
I also love both places for different reasons and on different occasions.
Comparing city living and perhaps the rural areas, I would settle in between as well, though I love the peace, calmness and breath of nature that comes from rural settings, but I also like the bubble and bustle of city life, how accessible transportation to places are in the cities though with a very high cost.
So I can relate to why you can't pick just one and rather settle in the middle.
