Something that seems to happen a lot on HN is the pervasive assumption that everyone lives in an urban area, or wants to. It is totally fine that some people choose that life, but it makes for these one-sided conversations where someone explains in detail why they have the right answer, while describing things that largely do not even exist outside of a relatively dense urban environment.
- jonasdegendt 4y agoI'm addressing the GP who references Manhattan, obviously all of the above does not apply to more rural areas. I'm merely providing an anecdote of a city dweller, I figured that much was obvious. Please live your best life and if that means living outside of the city and owning a car, I wish you all the best.
