Urban areas have big drains, rural areas have big mines. I'll take 'em both.

I've only ever done exploration in city areas, and haven't much to complain about--as long as the city's growing, there'll always be something being built and something shutting down. Keeps things interesting.

Though I wouldn't say no to some rural spots if I came across some, it'd be cool to see how they differ.

I like both. City has a lot more diversity in things to see. Rural is nice because that is usually where large industrial sites are built.

I think the attitude of the region you are in makes a difference as well. When I was living in Newfoundland for example, no one seemed to give a damn (I miss that so much lol). When I moved to Vancouver Island by contrast, I felt the vibe that everyone was really proud of their real estate.
