Read the passage below and, in no more than 20 words, state the principal reason the author prefers rural life to city life.

"After three years of relentless traffic, polluted air and the constant hum of neon signs, I returned to my hometown. The mornings are quiet, the air smells of fresh grass, and neighbours still greet each other by name. In the city I felt invisible, but in the village I feel part of a living community. The stress that once weighed on my shoulders has lifted, replaced by the simple rhythm of sunrise and the sound of birds rather than sirens. It is here that I rediscover what it means to breathe freely and belong."
