So I live in a (relatively) big city now. I’m always fascinated by the (social) super structure that is a city, and also by public transport inside cities. I like how life here never stops. You can find things to do at all hours of the day. I like all the weird and strange things the city has to offer.
It also has it’s downsides. It gets busy, polluted, dirty and noisy. There’s an airbnb close to my appartment and the guests party til 6 in the morning sometimes, on weekdays. If you complain, people say ‘you live in a big city, what do you expect?’ like it’s the normal thing to do. I miss nature sometimes.
I think I’ll eventually move to a village. Preferably at sea. But to be young in a city is a blessing at the moment.
I’m excited about the prospect of socialist cities as well. With lots of greenery, good quality housing, walkability, functional public transport etc. I hope to be able to see it in my lifetime.
