Sure cause we can’t actually have good cities.
The options are bad cities or bucolic countrysides…
If we all lived like you guys do in “semi-rural places” of the USA, we’d be extremely fucked. Like orders of magnitude more than we already are.
That wasn't what I was objecting to. I was to saying I have to live like I'm Amish because I'm doing something for my health.
You can live in a nice city with a lot of parks, good public transit, minimal cars, nice architecture etc.
It’s just a fact we must accept, living in a rural or semi-rural way just won’t be possible anymore. Climate change is really gonna fuck things up way too much and people don’t seem to get that.
If we want to survive as a technologically and socially advanced species and not regress to the Stone Age, we have to give up old Medieval ideals of living in the country-side.
What city would that be and who is going to find me a home and a job?
