 Yeah it's fucking stupid but people do it.  Imagine all of that shit, the restaurants, the music venues, the boutiques with the cool vintage stuff, the bars and clubs all just closed and you were just left in your box with not a whole lot of food and you are surrounded by strangers on all sides and you don't even know if they are potentially hostile.

Because that was only a few years ago and a lot of people are still not leaving the cities because they are addicted to the stimuli and think you're uncultured and dumb if you don't love the hustle and bustle.

Oh also the drugs, I forgot the drugs aspect of the cities.  You can get drugs delivered to your door.  Every night can be a new bathroom you've never done coke in before.  That's what I call living. 
 @dew_the_dew :verified: @Jet @09085299 ....I live in the middle of assfuck nowhere and I have enough drugs to get Ozzy high, I'm not impressed. 
 I'm not trying to impress you I am just explaining how it works.  Stay right where you are, you're fine. 
 @dew_the_dew :verified: @Jet @09085299 to what purpose, if not to convince someone that its a way of life worth living? We all have our preconceived notions of urbanite scum, we don't need a whole thread of someone "presenting the facts but its totally not an endorsement but you incels could get strange pussy and drugs every night bro" 
 Oh well if you are an incel it probably wouldn't work out that well for you unless you trooned out. 
 So after a period where the cities were a manufacturing base and people lived near where they worked in the factories and fucked and raised families there the nigs moved in and all of a sudden anyone who could afford to wanted the fuck out and anyone who didn't gtfo would be watching the value of their property plummet in value as the homes around them were turned into section 8.  Then the fags moved into some parts and slapped some paint on them and did some interior design and we call that gentrification. This is what is known as the nig-fag cycle and it's important if you want to invest in real estate.  Anyway the cycle for the past couple decades has been something like go to college/uni in the city, get the good job in the city, party in the city, oops we got married and have a kid and all of a sudden our major concern is now GOOD SCHOOLS in all caps and then you leave because there are no good schools in the city unless your family is high up in one of the local mafias that actually make the city work for their own financial interests.
