Living in Davao City is like living in other parts of the country except that you get to enjoy more of:
- Fresh air. You won't see smokers in sidewalks and other public places. Hefty fines to those who violate. Firecrackers are banned during holidays.
- Clean water. I don't buy purified bottled water. I drink water straight from faucet.
- Security. You can walk in the middle of the night while holding your brand new shiny iPhone without getting mobbed. Police visibility in key areas is also comforting to note.
- Less litters. The city has strict implementation of Solid Waste Management. You can only throw your household trash if properly segregated and you can't throw it anytime. There's scheduled garbage collection (6:00 PM -9:00 PM every Thursday in our village.
- Disciplined drivers. If you're from Cebu, CDO or Manila, you'll appreciate how disciplined drivers here in Davao, most notably the PUVs. It's rare.
- Affordable foods. You can get a decent meal for $1 or less.
- White sand beaches are just an hour away from city, or less.
If nightlife, partying is your thing, then, Davao City is no good place for you. If you want to settle for good like build family, have kids or retire, then, Davao City is a great place to live.
