Cities are great if you have someone to be with. I went to Rome on my own and was depressed.

I'm a suburbs kid and couldn't wait to move to the city for college. In my head cities were vibrant and grimy like 80s NY.

Even when I was a dumbass 18 year old I quickly realized I fell for the meme. Same dumb shit as the suburbs, fuck all else to do besides a bunch of sterile restaurants and bars.

Is this the best humans can come up with? Anyway OP, Walden is a great choice.

If you live in a city and drive in that city, you are doing it wrong.

Is it not still better than a big metropolitan suburb though? I moved from a rural town to a very large college town in the middle of nowhere. It’s ended up being like a suburb in reverse where it’s just farm land surrounding a core of cul-de-sacs. I was thinking of a move to the city.

No, it's absolutely shit cuz nobody wants to talk about Spinoza or number theory in the middle of city they just wanna listen to shitty music and drink/eat shitty and unhealthy stuff. They've also got lots of ugly-ass women who will never wanna have sex with me but whatever. I guess kids just like tall buildings and pollution n shit.
