Towns or cities, Jow Forums?

I live in a small town that is a couple of hours away from a very big city. It's pretty comfy.

Thanks for the recomendation, user. I think the best part of Japan are rural areas, maybe living near a forest or in a valley, with a shrine in the top and just a few houses. Or even being a hermite in a remote area.

But what if you actually live there and get your food from farming and cattle raising?

Either is fine in a homogeneous high IQ society.

Perhaps a small city could be quite nice too

Oh you

But maybe a big city is only nice when you find a special place where you could be alone and you could feel like the master of everything.

This picture is from VRchat, i usually go there just to take pictures like this. In that room I was feeling like I was the owner of the world.

I used to go to maps without mob spawns in the least popular servers to get that feel, like random questless NPC houses

Is this accurate?
inb4 not bothering with Liverpool, they don't make sense. On one extent middle-class left-wing stereotypes on the other druggies and some of the roughest people in the country.

Yeah, exploring empty servers are pretty nice, that's what I love the most about this game, I don't even have a microphone so I never interact with others.

With the exception of Durham and York I'd argue against Northern cities being like that (Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, etc).

And we do have lots of nice cities down south (Bath, Oxford, Cambridge, Canterbury, Winchester)

I think it's more or less correct though.

>A little Japanese town might be comfortable
Trust me, they are. I've been to small towns outside Kyoto and the architecture is amazing and it's so frequent, with every house having these well-detailed roofs. (I'm really into well-detailed roofs) From my experience of just walking by some in a street it was really aesthetically pleasing, didn't really look like the images posted tho, it was more old-looking like pic related (which is magome-juku btw)

Seriously, if you ever go to Japan, just walk down some resiential streets in your spare time; you'll find nice houses and equally nice people.

the towns one is accurate but the cities one may as well be two random images...

I recognise that intersection... that's shibuya

Move out the way lads, I have peak comfy Japanese architecture coming up

I live in a big city but my part of town is physically separated from the rest of the city. You get the benefits of living in one of the biggest cities in the United States but you also get the vibe of living in a small Southern town.

This is what my walk home from work is like everyday here in Japan.

You reckon it'd be possible to fit a roof like that on a normal western house?

Where is this, user? Scenery reminisces of many a anime.

These roofs are kinda regular, I didn't have a pic saved of the good looking ones. A quick Google search should find some good ones tho

>nam flashbacks

Someone told me the tiles they use are heavy as hell though, a regular roof could weigh like 6 tons or something, which is why after earthquakes one can see houses that has only roofs left standing on the ground.

What do you guys do for work in Japan?

Assuming you aren't Japanese...

I like towns in the outskirts. Cities are too busy, dirty and noisy. I like being able to walk from place to place without dodging people coming in the other direction and having cars constantly passing by. A town like the one I live in has also plenty of fields and vegetation so it's not all gray.
Being near a city I still have the chance to go there in bus easily to go to the cinema and such; and have access to a fiber internet connection. I also don't like living in an apartment in which I hear people walking, talking and occasionally fighting.
I guess you could call it a village rather than a town? Anyway I just love it here. I lived in a city for some years and while convenient in some things I wouldn't go back.

I think I'm more of a suburbs type of person. Towns seem to be not have any job opportunities and full of drug users.

With suburbs I can still be somewhat separated from the dirty and noisy city without aforementioned problems

how do you even recognise it without hachiko?

Why would anyone choose to live in a town over a city?
Cities are the cultural and intellectual centers of human civilization.

I remember the starbucks placement since my friend bugged me to follow them there when we went there

Cities are full of filth and vermin, not counting the rats or roaches. The more people you stuff into a space the less value you have as a person, meaning you're just another ant on the anthill. I'd rather live like a human than an insect.
