More stuff to do in big cities.
I personally love big cities better, theres more things to do and everything is more accessible like food delivery, regular post arrives faster etc
Also just being always surrounded by other ppl feels kinda comforting in a way
I get that. If you like to go out for a night on the town then a big city is where it's at. But traffic alone turns me off of wanting to do anything.i dont now, but i used to. and like the best thing was accessibility. whether it be stores, public transport, malls etc, everythings within reach
because of money? or too dense a population?It would take an awful lot of money to get me to live in a vertical city. especially in the US.
its just there is zero appeal.is 500,000 pop a big city? If so I do. . . Originally, the appeal when living in rural area to live in big city is for opportunities. When all you have is a walmart, a movie theatre, some supermarkets, and some suveneir shops... a metropolitan area with many malls and not having to order everything online is a dream.. but things about these areas is bulls**t. Ooh a 2 bedroom apartment for $900?! that seems good right? Wrong. In order for you to get into there you must make 2.5-3x the rent. It isn't this way in smaller areas. It is way more difficult to get into places in bigger areas than small cities and/or towns.

Yeah. A lot of people like NY.... but I'd rather get f***d by a railroad spike than live there. I do live in a bigish city and I miss being able to walk to the library or even buy a gyro for $5 at a real Greek restaurant... Meanwhile the only Greek place charges twice that price and the arbys near me doesn't even have authentic gyrosits just there is zero appeal.
8 figures a year might get me to NY or any of the NE cities for 1 year. long enough to get retirement money and i am out.
Seoul wasn't awful but it was vacation.
i like my space. I like to drive ect :)
My favorite thing about living in a big cityReason #1: Kpop groups perform at concerts near you.
The same for me! I grew up in a small town, and then moved to a big city. I enjoy having necessities closer to me, but yeah traffic is TERRIBLE.I lived in small country for the first 20 years of my life and moved to the city about a month and a half ago. The big things I’ve noticed is the scents are different (no more manure lol), convenient (don’t have to drive 20-30mins to the nearest grocery store, and I am only a 15min walk from school instead of an hour and a half drive). Granted there is more traffic on the main road. Both have their positives and negatives
