There was a very short time in my life I thought about it, back then I lived closer to the city than I do now. One big pro when you do live in a city is driving can be a brutal and irritating experience. So the allure of being able to walk places isn't bad. Particularly back then I was having to commute 5 days a week, burning away many hours in a car in traffic is a horrible way to start and end every day.

I've since changed jobs and I was working from home the majority of the time even before Covid world. So I moved out to the fringe suburban areas. When I did have to go to the office, it was a long way but it's wasn't that common and now it's almost not at all. It's so much better being further out from all that mess, just to be able to go about daily business without dealing with the driving alone. I think in hindsight if I had ended up in an actual dense urban condo I would have not lasted a year. No space to work on projects, build things, etc along with being surrounded by leftists would have been a total no-go.
