I love living in the City. Only problem is high rents.
I've been thinking of moving to Vienna that has a lot of socialized housing and other housing programs to keep prices affordable.
Cities with good public infrastructure are pretty nice for young-middle aged people I would say. It's just not something that exists in America. I've been to NYC, it was not at all a city I would put on my top list of cities I'd like to live in.
I think it's better to think of what cities can be when you think of Europe, cities in Spain, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, etc. these are extremely comfortable places to live in.
- pydry 3y agoNew York would be good too if the government would just tax the rentier-parasites and build some social housing.
- thelastparadise 3y agoRent controls and more section 8 housing will make it a better place? We've tried that enough already, no?
- pydry 3y agoSure. enough to know that it works.
- SR2Z 3y agoWe need a better kind of rent control like LVT (which doesn't control rent, but disincentivizes parasitic landlords) and a better kind of public housing (like Singapore's HDB, which is self supporting). The US does both of these really poorly and then acts surprised when they don't work.
