And I trust those cities far more than everything else. Not to imply they're ran by the best and brightest, by any means, but that shit sucks a lot less than the gormless fucks running all those red counties
for me its mostly the fact that there's people around. People you can talk to, people you can ignore or just vibe around, people driving and riding public transit, and people who will help you when you need it. Even if rural people were 10x more kind and helpful (and they aren't), there's 100x more people around in a city, so it gets completely counterbalanced by sheer volume
