[QUOTE="Hermetic Seal, post: 1421991, member: 10915"] I think it's nice to live within reasonable driving distance of the city (assuming normal, non-Covidian times.) It's fun to go on a date at a nice restaurant, visit a store for a specialty hobby like vinyl records, take your kids to the aquarium, or go to a big park (if it's decent and not filled with junkies or whatever.) But these are day-trip sorts of things, at most, and there are no longer really any good reasons to actually live in the city if you're red pill and have escape from the urbanite bugman mind-prison. Roosh's article is right on, the very structure of city life is designed to facilitate unhealthy relationships and spending habits. One thing that I do miss from (an idealized version of) the city is walkability. I'm in a suburban, borderline country area now, and I think it'd be great to be able to walk to the grocery store, post office, restaurants, and my friends' houses. This closer style of living is one of the only things I miss from the city, but interestingly I had this, at least to some extent, when I lived in a Japanese countryside town a decade ago, so it's not necessarily a city-vs-country thing, even though that's how it plays out in the US. Having to drive a minimum of ten minutes to get absolutely anywhere kinda sucks. [/QUOTE]
