The thing I like the most about my hometown is the people. Most of them are very friendly and supportive. They will always lend a hand whenever you have some problems that need their help.

I had lived there for almost 20 years before I moved to Sydney in 2022 and I finished my primary and secondary education over there before I left.

Is your home town a good place for young people?

Personally I would say no. As someone who likes to travel, I find it extremely inconvenient as it is far away from the nearest International Airport which requires at least three hours by cars.

Gramática
× I had lived there for almost 20 years before I moved to Sydney in 2022 and I finished my primary and secondary education over there before I left.
✓ I lived there for almost 20 years before I moved to Sydney in 2022 and I finished my primary and secondary education over there before I left.
The past perfect tense 'had lived' is unnecessary here because the sequence of past events is clear with simple past tense. Using simple past 'lived' is more appropriate and natural in this context.
× it is far away from the nearest International Airport which requires at least three hours by cars.
✓ it is far away from the nearest International Airport which requires at least three hours by car.
The phrase 'by cars' is incorrect because 'car' in this context is used as a mode of transport and should be singular. The correct expression is 'by car'.
