I get you... But anonymity and freedom are double edged swords... I've always felt that the nature of relationships you build with people in tier 2 city vastly differs from metro city... Ofc tier 2 city relationships can feel a little intrusive and judgy but there is also possibility to form a huge tight family... I've seen this in my village... Parents aren't the only one who raise a kid... The entire village takes care of the child as its own... If a house needs to be painted, the entire village comes together to help...
I've experienced these lines from Karuthavanlaam Galeejaam(Velaikkaran) first hand.
"Udhavinnu kettaakooda
Apartmentu aalu
Nice-ah appeet aavaaru
Phone-a switch off seivaaru
Evanummae azhaikkaama
Kuppam gopaalu
Vandhu kooda nippaaru
Edhuthu vela paaappaaru"
So the karuthu what I'm trying to say is...
I don't think anonymity and freedom at the cost of being disjucted is worth it...
As someone having the experience of living in a tier-2 and tier-1 city and even in a place faraway, I get the factor of anonymity. Although the amount of sensory overload and everyday hassles make me not lean too much onto tier-1 cities.

Love your perspective.
