>>1605688Cities have always been in decline because why would you pay more to live in a smaller place with more crime, less green space, less privacy, and is more stressful, when you can pay less to live in a big house with a yard in a safe neighborhood where you actually see the same people every day, and your environment is more green than soullless concrete. It’s an obvious choice. City living is a sacrifice you have to make for work, but nowadays it’s seeming like work is no longer confined to cities, just like culture is no longer confined to cities either. They’re losing their appeal at a much higher rate than ever before.
