    You don’t even ever lived in a city with less than 10k population. No doc, no hospital. No train. Just bullshit talks from privileged people.

      A population under 10k is closer to a village than a city. There are towns with a population of 5k that do indeed have their own clinics and even their own train stations as long as they are not located on the side or the top of a mountain, though it is extremely rare for a mountaintop settlement to have a population greater than 3k.

      It is honestly baffling to see that people can not fathom that urban sprawl can take shape without suburbanization. You can have houses concentrated into small splotches of land and those are chained together by a singular road and railway. Everything around that is just farmland. That’s just how villages look like in Europe.

      I’ve lived in a few towns with under 10,000 inhabitants. All have had doctors, groceries, schools and regular bus services.
