Why does everyone hate city living?

I like the challenge of living in a small space. I don't like or I should say really dislike the huge apartments, one there Huge, and when I try to play in them my screen jumps unless I'm right in there, after I tried, I don't play them. I don't mind the festivals but mainly I only use them to get stuff, the geek festival, I get my geek sims high in gaming and hacking so they can win the computer. the romance festival to renew vows or marry, and each festival to harvest the plants.
I like the backdrop, but wish there was more low level, family with balconies apartments. and I don't like all the wasted space in the posh district. I think there is a lot of potential but at the moment its lacking.
