What's life in the city like?

>just walk around, especially at night and just enjoy the lights.
Sounds amazing.

I guess Norway was a shithole too back then.

I love it. I grew up in a tiny little town in the country, and usually by 8-9 pm the streets were completely empty. The quiet would always give me anxiety, it made me feel like the only person on the planet. Once I moved to the city, that feeling went away. I could walk outside at three AM and see that the world was still there, people were still going about their lives, walking home, taking their dogs out, stuff like that. It gives me a sense of peace that a small town never could give me.

Wasn't Bronx even worse than that ?

South Bronx yes. It looked like a fucking warzone and the murder rates were some of the highest in the country.

My question is, why can't they fix (south?) Chicago like they did in New York?

I used to live in London, and it was good. I don't know why I moved out to be honest. It was a very good life. I got paid well.

Yes there are downsides to city life, like crime (although personally I didn't experience any crime myself), and pollution (it's really noticeable how unhealthy and polluted the air is), etc.

But there's also tons of benefits. Cities offer so many things which you can't get out in the countryside.

It has its benefits and drawbacks.

On the upside a greater selection of goods is available in retail stores instead of having to order everything beyond groceries online. Also the city isn't nearly as loud as you'd think, you'll always have a certain background noise but a lot of neighborhoods are pretty quiet, unlike some small towns that usually have tons of truck through-traffic and yokels making noise with power tools or on dirt bikes all day. I've lived in cities where it was quieter than it is now in this small town. The anonymity of the city is also very enjoyable. Maybe it's their understanding of a community but small town people are nosy and become very suspicious if you don't get involved with them. In the city everyone can go about their own lives without a worry. And another thing is that you're less dependent on owning a car, and you have far more options for getting around thanks to the shorter distances and better traffic infrastructure.

On the downside the enjoyment of apartment living is highly dependent on your neighbors. Also cities attract minorities, homelessness and crime to a greater degree. Not saying most minorities spell trouble, but most troublemakers are minorities. Something to consider.

Chicago is the second most corrupt city in America and could care less if people are gunning down each other in the streets.

Do you know the greatest living artis of our times?
If not so why, he done dropped his adress, you know where 6ix9ine at

desu the anonymity part is exactly why I've started to want to move to a city. you can bee urself in a city and no one cares.

and the pollution is my exactly why I kinda don't due to my asthma. places like LA seem like hell.

desu I don't even know how they fixed New York

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he lives near some projects (Public housing) in Brooklyn

interesting, in my city if you leave after 9 pm you have a 120% chance of being robbed

I've lived off and on in New York City for about 15 years (ignore the flag) and it sucks. I hate the impersonality, the business, and the constant stimulation of it all. While NYC (alongside like Tokyo, Hong Kong, anywhere in China) is probably worse for these, I'd take the country any day of the week over even more mid-sized cities, Dublin for example.

Cities feed on the scarcity of work in many fields or the inability to work in certain fields without some degree of interconnectivity. Obviously, if it wasn't for the money to be made in cities, huge swaths of the population would just move out, thus why they seem like such empty places. Hopefully telecommuting develops beyond a meme and makes it possible to live wherever you want and still participate in high-level work.

They got tough on crime. NYPD stopped fucking around and starting using excessive force and racial targeting. And it worked. That's why everywhere else is getting more and more crime, they keep lambasting cops every time they have to put a punk minority on the ground to cuff him, and keep crying rayciss on everything.
It's literally always the fucking niggers. Sorry if that's Jow Forums but it's true. As much as I hate chinese, I've never seen a chink randomly assault someone here, or mug them, or rape women, or just loiter around harassing people and acting like a thug.
All NYC did is let the cops do their fucking job, and it worked.

>could care less
Fuck off

I'm planning on going to law school next year and looking for a job in either NYC, DC or Chicago hopefully.
I've been living in the suburbs my whole life and going to a city is a once every couple months kinda thing usually to go to a specific store. I'm getting tired of this rural life but at the same time I'd like a house for me and my wife and our dogs.

great if you're not an autistic faggot

>NYPD stopped fucking around and starting using excessive force and racial targeting. And it worked.

It 100% did NOT work. There are plenty of statistics that support this and it's the reason NYPD had to change tactics on how they interacted with the public ,although they still kind of suck, we hear about them in the news a a little less than what we used to.

I would dive into why NYC has made a turn around but I see from the rest of your response that you're not a person that's interested factual conversations. You're operating on pure ignorance.

Fun. There's a lot of nice shops and I feel a little less lonely with all the people around. And at night the lights are all beautiful.

Which cities do you guys live in?

This, modern cities only exist to bring together specialists who would otherwise be too geographically disperse to be fully economically productive (and who often need to collaborate closely in order to produce). That's pretty much it. They also used to serve for protection against threats and the like, but now they are worse for you to live in.

The only people who truly like the city are the ones who were born there and never learned how to appreciate the country lifestyle. Anybody who has grown up in the country will never tolerate a city for long. They're awful for your health, despite whatever conveniences they may bring.

Yes, that's the correct phrase. It means that they could care less if they wanted to but simply don't even though they already care little.

I'm in San Diego. Don't listen to the propaganda. It's a hellhole.

Then what did work, explain it to an ignorant human being.

You are such a fucking retard. Go back to Mexico if you refuse to understand English.

It's COULDN'T care less. It means that they don't care at all or care so little that they couldn't possibly care any less.

Welcome to the USA, hope you like it. It gets easier when you take the time to learn the language correctly.

Not him, they're both fine, and you're gay

Truth.
It’s a fucking dump with a couple touristy areas impressive mostly to military nerds and trailer trash.

how big of a population do you need to be considered a "big city"

Thank god other people see this. I thought I was going insane. It's just a dirty desert city with some beaches

NYPD wasn't bought and corrupted by the mafia like Chicago Police was by the hood.

San Diego has tons of stuff to do if you like good beer and food.

Is Salt Lake City considered a big city? It's the city I know most from years in the shithole known as Utah.

D.C., it's nice

>if you like good beer and food
Way overrated and most definitely overpriced (like the rest)

you sound poor

Aren't Hispanics turning Salt Lake City to shit?

200k live in Salt Lake, i would consider it a mid size city. I've never been but looks comfy and clean.

coping faggots
god I love the city, every time I go there it’s amazing
I’m sick of living in the s*Burbs and I’m going to move out asap

As long as you can afford some privacy living in the city can be great. It's also super comfy looking out your windows during snow storms with the city lights and shit. I didn't really enjoy city life much until I could afford my own place with no roommates though.

fuck off back to your containment shithole

Yeah sounds like a good plan

Only new money trash (or the spawn of new money trash) would consider spendthrift a value. Projecting much, my friend?

It's the Mormons turning it to shit, along with the entire state.

wtf? calm down

Crowded, noisy, generally more crime, and more expensive to live in.

Grew up in the suburbs, and later moved to a rural area to join my family. Had trouble adjusting at first, but now I wouldn't give it up.

I was thinking at least 1 million.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS NOT FAIR I WANT TO LIVE IN THE CITY

City people hate it. Rural people love it.
Everyone loves what they don't have.

Go with Chicago. You might actually be able to afford living there.
t. DC burbs

Big big is north of 500k

Less than a million is small.

shitty

how is living in Krakow, or Warsaw?

I live in Manhattan and I hate it. AMA.

>living in cities

Imagine being a city cuck, enjoy living in your compact apartment and shitty air quality

What the hell do you do to be able to afford it? How much is rent a month and how many roommates do you split it to afford it?
