> You seem to be trapped in your tiny suburban fears. No, you got it wrong: it's not fear, it's experience. I've lived literally steps away from some of the best restaurants, museums (do you know Le Louvre ? The British or the Tates ?), coffee shops, libraries, parks and entertainment (AKA ways to consume even more) options. They're no match for the forest I enjoy everyday. I pity my old friends that stayed there during the lockdowns too. Of course a lot of them are now actively searching for a house in the country. Not that I want to sell it, but because of them my little house has now doubled its value. You prefer the urban life, I get it, and it's fine with me (actually I used to enjoy it too, until I didn't), I think everybody should be happy with his life. > But statistically, almost never happens. Oh yes it does ! More and more people grow food locally and people start to organize. I now buy only half of my groceries in the stores and it's only warming up (pun intended). ps: we have friendly neighbours that are also friends, work in the cultural domain, can enjoy a nice bike or horse ride and even have top notch internet via optic fibers for cheap.
