Like yeah sure I want to go outside and be looked at by 100s of strangers and do all of nothing in my shit failing city yeah

Maybe I can go to to the shoreline of the lake so polluted that it gives people hives after they go into it for too long or maybe I can sit and oggle the homeless people and watch cops harass them or maybe I can spend like 80 bucks that I dont have on shit I dint need on the remains of a torn down mall or eat food that's addictive and slowly killing me. Maybe I could be forced to rise a bike in the fucking thin ass shitty roads and fuckinf die because it's literally illegal to ride in the sidewalks also it's impossibleto go to one side of the town without a car because it's illegal to ride a bike on the road that connects the two parts

Or maybe I can get arrested for being in the river that's only allowed to be sailed upon for some reason

Or maybe I can go to the "bad side" of town and step in broken glass and dog shit

Or better yet, I can go to the "good side" of town and have rocks and slurs thrown at me if I wear a floral patterned jacket

City life fucking sucks

I miss living in the countryside but I dont miss the shit internet speeds lol

    i like cities but by god american cities are truly shitholes

    maybe it's because california ran itself into the ground with liberal-communism but every major city I've visited here is a literal and figurative shithole

      It’s not just California, it’s everywhere.

      Non-shitholes are reserved for paying customers (gated communities for the rich, suburbs, etc)

        even the suburbs are shitty though, lol, just not like, "aesthetically". I live in a wealthy suburb and it's a fucking cultural and spiritual graveyard. Having to drive to go to the grocery store literally only a mile and a half away is fucking SOUL crushing. You're just in your car ALL of the time, EVERYWHERE.

        Also, SF is a playground for the rich and the income inequality is so bad even money can't fix it, unless they literally go mask off and start piling the homeless and working poor into Auschwitz style graves

          Oh yeah you’re right. Only gated communities are ok. In america you gotta pay for a non-hellscape existence. That shit ain’t free.
