[QUOTE="thetruewhitenorth, post: 1559364, member: 23087"] Sometimes you dont have to move far to drastically change your environment. I used to live in a downtown of one city, no car, was relying on public transit. Thus, I was constantly in the middle of the simmering cultural rot, for years. Then, when I met my wife and we started pondering about our future and where to raise our future kids, we moved to a smaller city that was only a short drive away from where we used to live. However, the difference was stark - no homeless, quiet, safe, clean surroundings, respectful neighbors. Also, by not using public transit any longer, I was not exposed any more to your typical characters you would encounter on a bus or LRT. My stress and annoyance levels reduced significantly. Why suffer in vain? If it is within your power to change things for better, I say, why not do it? Especially, if its something simple like moving to a different neighborhood or a city.
