>>1027258Here's a fun fact: there isn't a single place on earth where people who live in cities are happier than people who live in the wilderness/rural areas. As somebody who was raised in a small town with a mountain view and right in the middle of seemingly endless farm land, going into cities feels like entering through the gates of hell. The air is dirty, the people are angry, everything is concrete and glass and metal, not a single bird to be heard for miles, the only mammals you might see are diseased rats and mice, and to top it all off, they keep building more of these mass torture chambers. Not to mention the fact that cities are deliberately designed to turn you into nothing but a source of income for major corporations. Think about it. How much do you depend on huge, multi million dollar companies for your day to day existence? If I want food, I can shoot something or catch fish, but I can also go to the butcher who gets supplied by local farmers and hunters. I could check the buy-and-sell and arrange for local farmers to sell me free range eggs every week for $2 a dozen. Heck, if it really came down to it, I could trade wood carvings or hand forged items for food and clothing. If your car breaks down on the side of the road, I can personally guarantee you that some hick in a pickup truck will pull up and help you out.
Apologies if that seemed very preachy. Cities are just the thing that rustle my jimmies the most in life.
