Living in Nebraska when you have the means to live in civilization is a punishment. Why would someone choose to live in a place where the nearest restaurant is a Denny’s 45 mins away?
- opan 3y agoQuiet and peaceful, cleaner air, you can play loud music and stomp around without upsetting neighbors, and for many people most of their time is spent on a computer anyway.
- pb7 3y agoThe quality of my life is not defined by stomping around or playing loud music. It’s having access to and making use of amenities. What the hell good is money to me if I have no goods and services to spend it on? Maybe most of your time is spent on a computer.
- GlassOwAter 3y agoThe quality of my life is not defined by how close I am to fast food diners or other frivolous goods and services.
- pb7 3y agoNeither is mine, which is why I live in a place that has amazing restaurants with cuisines from all around the world. There's nothing frivolous about food or any other good or service that enhances one's quality of life.

- slt2021 3y agodo you seriously think that tenderloin, Oakland, richmond, hunter's point, bay view is civilization?
- pb7 3y agoDo you really think your extreme examples are the average experience outside of Nebraska?
- slt2021 3y agoWell these are more affordable places in sf, not everyone is techie millionaire, you know. and Nebraska has nice places too, especially if you have a family. Try to raise a family with 5 kids in sf, and compare to Omaha. I would pick Omaha 10 out of 10 times, if I was not a millionaire
- pb7 3y ago>Try to raise a family with 5 kids What am I, a farmer? I would pick not doing that 10 out of 10 times regardless of how much money I had.
- slt2021 3y agoso we can agree that people can have their own preferences in lifestyle and critique of other people's lifestyle is not mature behavior
- pb7 3y agoLet’s see where this conversation started. >ah, yes. The American Dream of living in a 50 year old shitbox fixer that costs $2M in the suburbs of Cupertino. So you’re right, folks living outside of metropolitan areas need to work on their insecurities and learn to be nicer to people that prioritize other things in life.
