Who here lives in nowhere flyover shitsville, or worse, a nowhere flyover shitcountry?
>Living in a suburb of New York City >Taking a beautiful hard rail train into mid-town Manhattan through the Bronx and over the Harlem river every morning with the sunrise >Sip my coffee alongside literal millionaires and billionaire hedge fund managers, Google programmers, Hulu creative execs >You say, user, doesn't that make you feel like shit? >No, child. >Feel special rubbing elbows with them >Feel special having access to the same amenities and daily pleasures as the global elite
>>What is it like living in nowhere? pretty nice actually, because its quiet and isn't nearly so goddamned crowded and expensive.

My rent and parking is upwards of $1,800, but we do have a lot of green in Westchester. It's quite beautiful here.
People with wealth generally do escape the whole area when they can, though, to go to a quieter and greener place. It is the variety.
Luke Wilson
I'm reminded of a bit in a book I read once where the guy casually mentioned that life in a big city - any big city in the world - is really great. when you're on a $4000/day expense account.
Sebastian Hall
I was born into this piece of shit country, it's not that bad at times but everything is so hot and dusty, I hate living in an irrelevant place, all the sights and places that I can never known Haha, I think I'll be forever mad, curse them, and make this hold forever true. There are littlr joys on earth.

Imagine being so much of a poorfag cuck that the mere thought of living in the same general region as fatcats is the highlight of your life.
Brody Ortiz
They want 1800 for a 1 bedroom apt. Here in NJ. Why the fuck is it so expensive to live here? Is it the mexicans fault?
Levi Rogers
It's not about that, it's about freedom. I should have the freedom to choose
Jordan Phillips
North or south jersey? Theres some decent places down here for give or take $950 that arent projects and are in nice towns

>moved to medium size city >made the mistake of getting a place about 3 miles from city center >looks like straight suburbs, nothing cool and everything is sprawled out, you need a car to get anywhere, no one walks around >next place is going to be a slightly larger city (that's less sprawling and more dense) and right downtown >will probably room with hipsters to afford it but I want to be right. downtown. Where I can walk outside my door and there's a bunch of people walking around and so many cafes and restaurants and stores everywhere, and with a ten minute walk I can be at a skyscraper Fuck suburbs. It's so lonely feeling. I hate being the only one walking in the area, the cars don't know to watch for you and it just feels depressing and desolate. everything looks run down and slummy. There's no reason to even go for a walk here, there's shit pedestrian infrastructure and nothing pretty to look at, just a bunch of shitty single family houses on crappy side streets along a 5 lane 50 mph road. It's trashy. And the commute fucking sucks. It may only be 3 miles but there's constant traffic jams and bullshit, and you can't walk because it's 3 as the crow flies but due to suburb retardation it's like 5 on foot with really bad traffic crossings.
Zachary Bennett
>Where I can walk outside my door and there's a bunch of people walking around I have no idea why anyone would want this. Lack of this is one of the chief attractions of suburbs and rural areas in my book.
Nolan Ramirez
Urban cities are the worst you dumb OP. Everyone there is soulless and autistic for money.
If you think town roasties were bad they are dialed to 11 in cities like NYC
Jaxon Phillips
>wanting to live in a place where you are constantly surrounded by people >where nightwalks are loud >where the streets are always busy >where you have to take the subway >where the lights are always on >where advertisements and buildings flood the environment What the hell is wrong with you people?
So you go outside and it's a depressing slab of nothing, just a shitty pothole filled road and a bunch of shitty stupid houses, where no one ever sees another human being, just cars, you just drive a cage to a box and drive the cage back to another box, and that's the extent of it.
Adrian Perry
Take a walk through Bryant Park or Central Park in the morning. Midtown West at 7AM. The garbage men carrying on, the laborers gulping down halal cart coffee. There's a liveliness to the streets of New York that you can't find elsewhere in the US easily. We are a country of cars, and those steel cells isolate us from one another in a way that no one has been able to really express.
Blake Brooks
Yeah, the "don't see any other human beings" part is very, very attractive. People are obnoxious and I want at least some semblance of privacy in my life. I don't want there to constantly be people just outside the door and on the other side of the wall 24 hours a day.
For that matter the car is a benefit too. You know why? Because you're alone in your own private box instead of sitting next to a bunch of fucking people. I wagecucked for a while near a major city and I could have taken a train in, it was generally faster during rush hour. I didn't, basically just for this reason.
I would put up with things much, much much more boring than suburbs to gain these advantages.
In my life, I've lived in both downtown Toronto and a small town. Each has its pros and cons. Toronto has more stuff to do and the city feels more 'energetic' somehow, but it's overly expensive and has certain social issues they don't have back home. The small town is boring as fuck, I literally spend a lot of time sitting around thinking about what to do and coming up with absolutely nothing, but it's very cheap. That cheapness isn't just a benefit in terms of saving money, it also grants you a lot of flexibility... Like if you're having issues with a shitty roommate you can just move into another place on a dime, because you can get an apartment here for as little as $600 and people here almost never ask for security deposits or 'first and last up front' or anything like that.
Ryan Robinson
For me, it is good and bad. No one complains about turning down my speakers because my closest neighbors are a few miles away. A bother is that a neighbors son or something keeps riding his goddamn motorcycle all the way down to my house and speeds down the little dirt road everyone goes to get home and he is either gonna get killed or kill someone. Also theres nothing really to do except menial shit, like working or doing drugs. Lots of people do meth and heroin, I couldnt do it though. Otherwise pretty comfy. My location has good summer weather, decent winter weather (can be a bit too cold at times) but its home
Noah Roberts
I know it. NYC has a great vibe, shame I can't afford it (and the weather sucks.) Just any large city that has people actually walking around is great, it's so energizing and nice to see other people and feel like you live in a real community. I'll even talk with random people, there's interesting people out there. I'm pretty introverted but random conversations can be fun. I love the blue collar working class in NYC, they're amazing and they have that authentic accent, and unlike proles in the flyovers they're also educated and literate. Was sitting in a diner getting breakfast and the regulars just come in, kick up conversation with the proprietor, start passing around a book and having a conversation about it. Unfortunately there's so many carcucks who are hateful, unpleasant people like that other poster, most of the country is a wasteland.

>tfw you've never seen the stars at night >tfw you haven't heard anything close to the near-silent hum of nature since being in the womb >tfw you need to be around other people to develop a sense of purpose >tfw you cannot find beauty in anything that isn't man-made >tfw anything other than the environment you've learned to call home is "nothing" Is this what the city does to people?
I mean I get it, but unlike you I get the best of three worlds (the suburb, the urban, the rural). The rural is an escape -- it's not a place I want to live in. Unless I was old and retired.
Jace Rodriguez
>I'm pretty introverted you sound like literally the exact opposite of introverted, with all that going on about wanting there to be people around for you to talk to all the time.
Brayden Robinson
I live in rual Texas and I wouldn't have it any other way. Fuck living in cities. Fuck having to take the Tozai line into town. Fuck having to live in a isolated box. If you think being in a crowd of people makes you feel insular it's fucking wrong. You realize how much lonely everyone is walking in the same place as millions of others not interacting just walking to the next place. I grew up in Tokyo and I wouldn't move back there. I love my rual Texas home my land and my privacy and silence of the night and being able to see the stars in the sky.
Jace Sanders
I've lived in the middle of no where my entire life. It's fucking great. The absolute wet dream for people who hate people.

Tyler Kelly
Freedom to choose what exactly? Do you think people in the country don't have the freedom to suck cock?
Evan Bell
>implying I haven't been camping before Look at this retard. I've been hiking and camping in over 12 different states and another country. Fuck off tard.
Eli Roberts
>he thinks cities aren't isolating I mean how retarded and naive are you? Cities are far more isolating than the country. Suburbs surrounding the city are isolating too. Living in the city is walking from one box to another box. There is no difference.
Brandon Hall
>the best of three worlds Suburbs are okay, but urban life is the worst of three worlds to me. Sure, it's a matter of preference, but I find it particularly odd when people on this board say they like it. Perhaps it has something to do with living on computers and the constant flashing lights/advertisements/movement of the city? No clue, but I'd hate to be around that many people. And I'd rather look at trees than billboards and concrete.
What makes you think people can't move into the city for an escape? Thats the only way to enjoy a city. Live there for less than week. After that its just draining.
There are so many people but non of the care. They mine as well be ants. if you got stabbed they'd ignore you while you bleed out on the street. You breath disgusting pollution in every day you go outside. You have to share a train with the most degenerate and disgusting people or sit in traffic for 10 hours to move half a mile. You have to deal with homeless people begging you for drug money on a daily basis. Everyone living in the city is a brain dead sheep parroting the same things everyone else says. There is no individuality at all because every development of their lives have been within the confines of the hive.
The city is cancer and I hate everyone who pretends to enjoy it.
t. live in a very large city.
Jonathan Murphy
Oh yeah, that's really impressive. But you should probably get back on the subway where you can rub shoulders with a homeless guy while some fat fuck who just finished a shit burrito breathes down your neck.
Michael Ramirez
>smell of piss
this is the only poster who has actually lived in NYC. whole city smells like an uncleaned urinal
Joseph Evans
>live in city >leave the city whenever he has free time to relax >pretends to enjoy living in the city >pretends to enjoy being stressed 24/7 Is this stockholms syndrome?
Samuel Collins
North east to be exact. Its a fucking shithole here m8. An overpopulated piece of shit.
Henry Gutierrez
if you're a rational person and you've lived in both you would know that theres benefits to both ie lower living costs in the rural areas, less commute time in cities, in rural areas its safer in alot of ways, etc
Cameron Torres
GUISE LETS ALL BE FAIR AND MIDDLE GROUNDED GUISE THERES NO REASON TO ARGUE
Too much soi
Jaxon Hernandez

Ayy that's max comfy my dude. Better than living in urban Japan.
Jason Collins
cities >expensive cardboard box size apartment >surrounded by the kind of minorities they don't tell you about in school >closest thing to nature is overcrowded public park covered in dog shit and trash
Carson Rodriguez
If I was a millionaire I'd live in Manhattan no doubt
Blake Martinez
The city is comfy because it's isolating and depressing, but it's bad for your health, there's a reason I always imagine myself driving out of the city at night and just driving wherever the road takes me
I desperately want to live in a place nobody cares about full of mostly white people and marry a plain white woman with a modest or nonexistent sexual history and have a bunch of kids
