Any time I go to a large city im exhausted by being charged for doing anything. How do people have fun if theyre poor(the neat part, you dont, probably). And to make it worse many of them probably have a 1 bedroom apartment so its not like you can sit in there all day long (at least i cant).
I realize im still spending money by being in my house out of town, but still, at least things I buy are owned by me, and im not paying someone else every time I want to do anything. If I want to stay at home all day I have tons of stuff to occupy my mind without going nuts.
I figure 98% of lemmy users live in big cities so id like to hear this perspective!
I have suspicious needles and baggies on the sidewalk, disheveled people hunched over near the dollar store, graffiti covering the entrance to the subway, padlocked meat at the grocery store and BBQ meat smoke coming from makeshift tents behind the grocery store, train tracks lined with tent villages to greet visitors to the city, random yelling and exhaustless cars drifting at 3AM, far off gunshots or fireworks somewhere over there, slowly disintegrating brickwork and cement in my building, people’s trash on the street Monday through Friday.
How many of those free things do you have, Mr Fresh Pine Scented Home? Hmm? I wanna know.
