That's right! There's getting assaulted by mentally ill homeless people, getting mugged waiting for bus, smelling unhygienic people on the train, paying exorbitant prices for food in the supermarket you had to ride the bus for 30 minutes to get to, taking in the wonderful sights and smells of excessive population density, dealing with hundreds of inconsiderate drivers (if you can afford to pay hundreds for a spot, when it's not taken by an unpermitted car), the wonderful lullaby of yelling drunkards! What's not to love?

Man idk, I've lived in the city for a decade and the worst thing that's happened to me is getting a bag of chipotle stolen out of my hands (while I was staring at my phone and not paying attention)

Anyway, my grocery store is a less than 5 minute walk by foot, I have a car that I park on the street for free less than a block from my place, I actually would take transit MORE if I could. Excessive population density? More potential friends and love interests in a time when everyone's complaining about how lonely they are? The horror! I'm sorry you hate people but not everyone's a misanthrope.

Honestly, I'm an introvert myself and there's a case that can be made that cities are better for that. I have dozens of people in my neighborhood that don't care about me, vs a few neighbors in a tiny suburb that all gossip and spy on me. When it's time to be social I can walk outside and see my friends in the arts/music district less than 10 minutes away, and when i just want to read a book or play video games I can just... go home and do that. In the suburbs it's such a comparatively big chore to be social.

It should also be added that I live in Cincinnati OH, not NYC. there's more to urban living than the big coastal cities.
