idk about your city/country but its not even what I want from urban spaces lol
barely any grocery stores, everything except some hyper-overpriced bars and restaurants closes at like 6pm because of the scary homeless or whatever, unforgiving concrete steel and glass skyscrapers full of offices and the most bland housing options you've ever seen (unless maybe if you have tons of money, then there might be a penthouse.)
Its rough. Around the edges of downtown you might get some older neighborhoods with mixed land use and smaller more affordable housing buildings, if you're lucky (if you're not lucky they fully ringed the CBD with interstate highways and demolished these), but some of the other issues remain
This was the inner commie in me kicking and screaming when I used to work downtown.
ah, the ennui of downtown; everything I want from urban spaces and yet priced so terribly beyond beyond my budget
