I've lived in the city for my entire life. I hate the all the people ontop eachother, litter, noise, smells, dysfunction, snobbishness, traffic etc. I don't understand how seemingly most people want to move in the opposite direction. No, they are not hotbeds for muh crime wave and no, I am not paranoid or racist. The only time where the city is more or less livable is during summer break when half the population is being a plague somewhere else.
I can't wait to gtfo of here and live somewhere rural. Preferably somewhere so boring that it sees minimal tourism.
actually as a socialist I like people and cities are where people are so I like them, in addition to enjoying all the other trappings of civilization like good food, sports, cultural events, and centers of knowledge. I'm a creature of the metropoles.
however, I do hate cars and they keep me from being able to see & interact with people so if a city is organized around them I dislike it - this basically means there are only a few cities in north america that I actually like (NYC, boston, DC, seattle, portland, SF, vancouver, toronto basically). My ideal city design is Hong Kong, which not even NYC is remotely close to.
