I think it depends on the person. I grew up between plains and I love it still. But I had a complete freedom over everything I did. My grandparents let me roam free at all times. I think it depends completely on how you are raised. I was forced to wash everybody's dishes as a child and now I can't stand them. I avoid them as a plague. More than people would normally.

Yes, the views are breathtaking! I was in love with them!
