Most parents choose a good environment for their children to grow up in, and frequently moving around makes it difficult to get to know the neighborhood. In the context of investment, I agree that a house is no longer a potential investment, as discussed previously. However, when faced with marriage, it's much better to build your own home and not move around for whatever reason. If others have different views, that's fine, because everyone has their own perspective, but for me it's better to settle in one house with a much better environment.
Seeing a good neighborhood isn't easy these days, as crime is ubiquitous, which has led many parents to exercise a little extra supervision over their children, especially those who have their own homes after marriage. However, if someone moves in search of a more peaceful environment, I believe it's a perfectly worthwhile undertaking, but doing it repeatedly can be very tiring, as it not only impacts our children but also makes it difficult for us to adapt to the new environment.
As for investment, housing complexes strategically located near the city and business areas are ideal. Prices can also tend to rise annually, although this may not be the case for homes in rural areas, as urban properties are typically slightly more valuable than their rural counterparts. This is especially true if the village is a slum and lacks tourist attractions that could potentially serve as business opportunities for local residents.
There are many strategic advantages to living in any urban area, as you mentioned, I would like to add the social environment. Discussing the context of my country, I will first mention that in the past, the rural social environment was very beautiful and harmonious, which is now being lost with time. One thing is very important for living anywhere and that is the neighbors. If the neighbors are good, life is blessed and if the neighbors are bad, life becomes poisonous. Currently, in rural life almost every neighbor has jealousy and hatred in their mind. Even if I eat a little good food, everyone still looks at me. According to them why should I eat good food, live a good life, build a good house? And this kind of mentality is not there at least in urban areas. Anyone can live as they want, no one has a headache about it. But with the rate at which land prices in urban areas are increasing, buying a house in urban areas is an impossible thought for a middle class person like me.
In the city people might be distant, but at least they let you live your life without judgment. Rural envy can really weigh you down, especially when every smal joy feels like it needs to be hidden. Sadly, the dream of city life is getting harder to reach with these crazy prices.
