It's ok if you like not living in a city.
It's just dishonest for you to pretend like cities are the source of problems, and not -people-. I'm assuming your village never had any issues with elders being bigoted or sexually exploitative? Cities are no less pious than the country to me.
What I find interesting is that you're in the suburbs: the worst of both worlds. Suburbs were truly designed by a demon, in my mind.
- willcipriano 4y agoPeople are the problem that's why I don't want to be a city. Let's say 1% of people are antisocial assholes, in a city that's tens of assholes within a 5 minute walk from your door. In a rural area that's less than 1 asshole per ten square miles. In a rural area if your neighbor likes loud drum and bass music, you learn that if he invites you over. In NYC, you learn that your neighbor is a chain smoker as you are moving in. Rural areas limit both total assholes in a area and the asshole blast radius. As for the suburbs, I only moved here to work. Thanks to Covid I now have a choice where I live and I prefer the countryside. Frankly you should be happy people want to live in the middle of nowhere, rents are high as it is.
- skyyler 4y agoFrankly, I want to continue living in the middle of nowhere without people moving here to "escape the city". It's already started and I hate it.
- willcipriano 4y agoStarlink and remote work is really opening up parts of the country that weren't possible to live in before. The middle of PA is gorgeous and dirt cheap. People moving to rural areas from the city seem to want to be relatively close to it so I say let them drive up your property values and you can live in a mansion on twice the acreage in a few years.
