What is it like living in a big city? Is it overrated?

[MaverickParticipant 811]

Thanks all for the responses btw. Perhaps I should spend a long weekend in a city to see how I like it. I will sometimes go on a day trip but that’s about it.

I lived in the City for 30 years. I loved it. It was 20 minutes to everything.

I live in the country now and while it’s beautiful, it’s deadly boring.

Give the City a try. It doesn’t sound very exciting where you are.

Do it while your young. As you get older a City becomes more difficult.

I live in a small city: it’s 5 minutes for everything, when I lived in a big city it was 30-40 minutes for almost everything, the services are the same but concentrated in a much smaller area: in 5 minutes I can reach: the mayor, the hospital, 6 different supermarkets, 9 restaurants (including Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Kebap), at least 10 cafè, 3 laundries, 2 cinemas. Furthermore here it’s even 10 minutes if you want to go in a wood, in the big city it was more than an hour. Bonus point: there isn’t McDonald and the likes here.
When I was in electoral campaign the headquarter was 20 meters from my home and I could see its door from my window: a day I went home for the lunch and left the candidate mayor (I was the candidate deputy mayor) to deal with a stupid boring woman, then after the lunch I was sipping coffee and watching the candidate mayor still dealing with the c~~~, then I also called her to the mobile phone joking about it 😀

When active duty in the Navy I lived in several different big cities. San Diego was crazy. Homeless all over the place begging. Fringe people where any little crazy idea could get 10 to 20 people following. Being in the Navy always obvious to all so people tried to set you up as a mark. Always had to watch out for everything.
Now I have to admit I enjoyed the spread out cities Jacksonville FL and San Antonio TX. Some little festival always going on so always something to do.
Hated Orlando it was hot and no breeze. Tourist trap prices.

Right now live just outside a very small village. About an hour drive from 300,000 pop city. Have to have a plan, driving an hour for parts is out of the question.

Well… If it’s Walmart, it’s definitely not about the destination.

IMHO
Cities are overrated, over crowded, over controlled, and over run with various forms of strife.
I despise them with a passion, and equate life in them as vermin infested physical, emotional, and spiritual prisons that crushed the basic humanity in all who reside there. Forcing all to abide by the whims of a select few.
Sometimes the “convenience” of various niceties mitigates my distaste for cities for a little while. However the constant sensory assaults leave me in an agitated and irritable state more often than not.
When I was younger, I enjoyed being in the “big cities” because of the novelties each different city offered, however the “thrills” soon became a s~~~ show best to be avoided.

Your mileage may vary, and you’ll never know unless you try it.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

My goal is desolation. One of a hundred in a 20 mile radius who live by means… who the hell knows. People that exist, survive, without any known source of income.

Why bother with cities when that’s where evil is most concentrated.

Give me wide open spaces.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

Living in the city is great (Montreal)but I would NEVER buy property in the city simply because anyone can grafity your wall and its like well tough luck bro, clean that 600 000$ overpriced wall of yours.

Renting in the city in a small room is lots of fun since you are always out and using your money (low rent in montreal) for cool activities and socio-cultural events you wouldn’t find in the countryside.

The city is great for a certain period of your life but its bad to establish in the long run.

In New Orleans it’s only worth it if ya live right across the street from either a sushi joint, a nice family owned café or a bar.

From the city, to the suburbs, to the country, is a continuous spectrum of society on one side and nature on the other. Where you choose to reside, work, or retire on that spectrum is up to you based on your changing needs and desires.

Money comes from the society end of the spectrum. Clean air from the nature side. The excitement of the city and potential for mixing genes attracts the young. The ones who have been there, done that grow tired of the endless concrete, politics, and noise.

I’m from a big city and had a great time living in several. I’ve gained a lot of energy, opportunities, and hard knocks from these places that country people plainly have not. But if you ask me to grow a garden I will look lost. If there is greater opportunity there, I’d say go for it and don’t be shy about jumping right in. People who develop both “city skills” and “country skills” can go anywhere and do anything.

Just a thought about cities, if I had to live in one, I’d want it to be in a warm climate so I could ride a motorcycle through the congested streets in stead of stuck in traffic and not moving! That’s one thing I like about taking a bike to the beach, you get around while cars are stuck at a standstill in summer traffic! The ride up 495 to Hampen beach is another white knuckles knee knocking story! Just ask Old Sage, he’ll tell you!

I’m sure you WILL like the city. The only problem is will the city answer you the same? 😀

Don’t live in a “big city” like new york or any thing. But I do live in the city.

My main reasoning is that I’m single and don’t need a huge amount of space like a house in the suburbs and i don’t want to commute. I pay double for some thing comparable to not have to deal with 1+ hour commutes in each direction (that’s if I’m lucky and no accidents). My commute is a 5 minute walk to work, and the freedom to not spend hours of my day daily fighting traffic is well worth it to me.

I did the whole commute thing, f~~~ that. Id rather walk to work, then retire and leave the city. Commuting is more soul draining than the actual work itself. But less bad as a woman nagging you constantly

The idea of living in a big city is about as appealing as living in a crowded, noisy cell block in prison. I have no desire to participate in a human “mouse utopia” experiment.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

I rode in Beantown for 10 years. Tell you the truth, I cant remember it! Hahha.

South Florida is a s~~~hole. Less than fifty percent of people here speak English, most of the jobs are customer service or retail, wages are low, rent is high (so is cost of living), everything is far away, competition for jobs is fierce, and the people are f~~~ing terrible. There isn’t even much night life (unless you count bars and clubs, which I don’t), none of the benefits of being in a big city. Ninety percent of the restaurants serve Hispanic food because the immigrants hate everyone else’s culture.

[KingofWisdomParticipant 72]

I’m here because I was born here, trying to get out when I can. I don’t feel like I’m in the US in this city (Miami is a city of immigrants).
