> giving up big city qol What does this even mean? Living in a sterile 600 sq ft box filled with IKEA furniture emitting VOCs? Hearing sirens all through the night? Stepping over needles and human poop on the sidewalk en route to the CVS that's currently being robbed? Enjoying that specific moment between 10:47am and 1:04pm when the 90-floor building's shadow allows actual sunlight to enter your sterile box's windows? Getting stabbed, raped, or becoming a victim of anti-Asian hate violence on public transport? I've yet to hear an explication of what's so great about the city, other than access to different breweries, nightclubs, and fancy farm-to-table restaurants. Here in the country, the microbrewery is closer - literally a row of carboys fermenting DIPAs in the basement, and cold kegs fresh off secondary. The free range eggs and organic vegetables are in the backyard, and the pastured bacon is curing from last week's butchering. Nightclubs, I'll grant you. But I don't need to blow $3k on bottle service for a night with my wife.
