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

    Yeah it's so bad. There is no level of community in this country that isn't terrible.

    Large cities are too noisy, have awful air quality, are too hot in the summer, and have all the problems you described.

    Midsized and small cities have most of the problems above but they also tend to have a lot less to do and worse job opportunities.

    Small towns have nothing to do and very shitty job prospects. Can be very hard to get quality groceries depending on how far the next city is. Usually infested with the worst type of chuds. Upsides are the air quality and noise, usually less absolute poverty (dying in the street, freezing to benches in polar vorteces) because people tend to be more supportive and willing to help each other out and housing is cheaper.

    True rural can be good depending on your lifestyle preferances but my main issue with it was the fact that you're effectively on your own and everything (work, school, grocery store, hospital, etc) is far away.
