I mean, different strokes, I guess. I love living in new york. I’d say it’s perfectly nice.
The lines and prices aren’t as any worse than when I lived in NJ. The subway is fine. Especially the ones that are above ground. But more importantly you can walk places. Like, I walked out of my apartment to do some christmas shopping today. I stopped at a target, a discount shop, looked at some other independent places. No unusual lines. And then I got a slice of pizza (veggie slice, pretty big. it’s basically a meal) for $4 from a place on the corner. Doing that out in the 'burbs would’ve been a ton of driving, traffic, and parking, plus I’d be less likely to casually poke into an interesting looking shop.
Also I like when there’s people around. Whenever I’m out in the suburbs and there’s no one out and about, it feels like a horror movie. I feel safer when there’s people around.
Don’t get me wrong: I don’t want to live in the suburbs either. There’s still too many people and instead of lines of people they’re lines of cars. They’re awful.
I want a hole in the side of a mountain, where I can look out on a dark night and see no lights except the stars. Where there’s no human within earshot, and it’s a ten mile walk to get to anything resembling a store.
Humans are the most dangerous animals on the planet and I don’t feel safe with them as neighbors.
