Bullshit the first thing fucking boomers do when they build a house out where I live is put up 5 massive led statium lights. Boomers are scared as fuck of the dark

get to go downstairs and walk to the corner for coffee and a bagel or almond croissant in the morning. or across the street to a bar to hang out. hungry wasted at 3 am walk one block to get 2 of the best slices of pizza you ever had for less than 10 bucks

fun shit to discover all the time, world class museums, awesome gym at the top of a building, foreign movies in the theater, interesting bands coming to town to play (less so since 2020)

great food to try all the time. but I mean I wouldn't want to live in any other city or area of NYC than Manhattan and I'm glad I was in Florida during the lab leak hoax

I make my own. Takes 5 minutes. Don't have to worry about people spitting on my food or rats/roaches crawling on the food.
>or across the street to a bar to hang out
Overpriced booze and drunk people. Nice.
>get 2 of the best slices of pizza you ever had
I can get better pizza than anything you can get by simply making it, and again I don't have to worry about bodily fluids, or vermin. And I can make the whole pizza for less than $10.
>fun shit to discover all the time, world class museums, awesome gym at the top of a building, foreign movies in the theater, interesting bands coming to town to play (less so since 2020)
Noise, shitty people everywhere, vermin, $$$$$$, etc. No wonder you faggots have no money you're as bad as people buying lottery tickets.
>great food to try all the time
Vermin. Your food is covered in feces and other various "spice of hustle and bustle life" seasonings. The food argument really gets me. It's like you think there's no good food outside of cities filled with roaches, rats, and nigger pubes on your pastrami sandwich.

You don't know food until you've eaten food cooked by someone who knows how to cook.

Why do people like rural areas if there is nothing with the exception of outdoor activities? Yes they don’t have as many minorities.

They’re open air hospices. It’s full of old people. The only people who stay after high school usually are losers and often become tweakers. Nothing changes there except for businesses closing on Main Street. The mines, lumber mills, and factories are closing or have closed. There are very few jobs. Very few people that have a college level education. There are no engineering or programming jobs. The only jobs are usually government or Walmart/dollar general. The rest live off the government via social security.

They’re uncultured. They don’t read books about philosophy, STEM, politics. They don’t travel or have never been to Europe or often anywhere outside their region.

Rural people don’t have good food. They eat shitty post war food. They eat things like liver and onion. The produce is all bad by the time it gets there unless it’s local. They don’t have access to nice imported pasta, cheeses, olive oil, wines, liquors, rum, meats, etc. They don’t even have nice domestic alcohol or wine. Even the bourbon selection for anything mid tier or higher end is lacking.

Everything closes super early. Everybody wants to have standard NPC small talk and recognizes you at the store. They gossip about each other constantly.

It’s cheaper to live there, but that’s like saying Detroit is cheap.

>Why do people like rural areas if there is nothing
The nothing is a feature, not a bug. You can go do projects or find interesting things to get your hands dirty with, and no one around to bother you or steal your damn tools. You seek other people to entertain you. And you destroy your sanity and health in the process.

>>541492379
Yeah we call you NPCs because you need other NPCs to interact with to function. Literally like a videogame. If you have no one to interact with, you're "off". You have no soul. If you did, living in a place where darkness, evil, and pollution/pestilence gather would be an instant turn-off for you. Cities are like a septic tank where the waste of humanity flows into. The waste attracts vermin and disease like all sewage systems. It is vile. Mammon is your way of life, you need dopamine constantly to not gas out and crumble. Suburbs are just as bad, they just pretend to hide it.

>>541492506
being near other people means you lack internal thoughts
cool story man
>>
>>541492632
Your internal thoughts must be pretty small and pathetic if you feel the need to constantly supplement them with other NPCs. My inner world is a vast and rich tapestry that your brown brain is simply not biologically capable of producing.

>If you aren't a lonor shut in incel, that means that you are with other people 24/7 all the time

>>541492632
I create entire worlds in my mind and explore them. Full 3d, I can fly around and interact with anything. I can feel heat, cold, electricity, moisture, and all kinds of sensations in my head and generate random encounters with different scenarios. Lucid dreaming. I can generate a world and senses in my mind that even AI and datacenters can't match(not enough "compute") using the energy from a small bowl of cinnamon oatmeal and a small glass of homemade OJ. This is why AI doesn't impress me. It takes gigawatts to do what I can do with a peanut butter apple and a glass of water.

This is the power of the loner who can just enjoy his own consciousness and senses. You can have it too. But you have to leave the city. You have to awaken your inner self, your soul. It'll find you if you can just get the poison out of your head. You don't know what you're missing. Peace and quiet can help you find it.

There is not anybody to do interestign projects with. Even if there were they simply don’t have the same level of skill set or education to work on any projects themselves. In metro areas there are all kinds of people like Engineers, Programmers, Union machinists and welders.

Most of the times when rural people work on personal projects it’s just boring shit like building a deck which is half baked and doesn’t account for shit like snow load. They also never have everything they need for the project and have to drive hours to go to metro areas and get parts or wait a week each time they fuck up to get extra parts delivered.

In metro areas there are entire businesses that have metal, lumbers of all kinds (included nice hardwoods and imported hardwoods like majogany).

>>541493021
In metro areas there are people that can visualize things in their head by reading and innovating. These people can have a dream or concept, crunch numbers, design it in CAD, program the microcontroller to control it, and then fabricate the parts they can or contract parts of it to local shops or overseas. They put it together themselves for the first prototypes. Programmers in metro areas can visualize different data structures in their head and the overall layout of programmers. Musicians have ideas of a sound in their head and write song. Then they play the local scene and occasionally make it big. None of these things exist at all or in any sizable quantity in rural areas.

In metro areas people don’t just let their ideas be ideas. They often actually build or make it.

Nonsense, rural areas are always crawling with meth heads. All the junkies in the cities do opioids.
>t.grew up in a small town that acted as an anchor for a bunch of smaller satelite towns being wiped out by meth
>>
>>541487336
because they're selfish and boring, cities will force you to develop a personality beyond what color paint you want on your garage door. also owning property in a city is a late career move, something you do when you're established, so you can't just retire at 43 and live off someone else's hard work until you croak on a beach in the Bahamas with shit in your bathing suit.
>>
>>541493985
So living like it’s 1950 or even earlier without any access to the nicer things in life makes you more in touch with the real world? Rural areas in Europe aren’t quite as bad with the lack of food in the sense that at least European rural areas have PDO/PGI geographically designated food products or wine that are made traditionally instead of American slop and grain farms.

Designing you own things in CAD, programming, writing your own music, etc does require intellectually facilities rural people often just simply don’t have. So they just shit on metro areas because well at least we have God or whatever.

>>541494046
People who hype up rural areas are either dumb losers who never left the place or people daydreaming from soulless suburbs or that live in a shit neighborhood in the city not realizing that the otherside is bad in the ways I’ve described above. Even people in the hood can get a well paid union job and move up in life. They still benefit from the conglomeration effect that metro areas provide to economic activity. A business in a metro area can make more money and grow more than in a rural area.

>Everyone hates cities

>>541494145
Yeah, the property appreciating is a nice bonus of living in a metro area instead of a stagnant or dying rural area.

Another benefit is the price arbitrage of making urban metro area salaries and then using that to buy things online, from rural areas, or to travel since those things cost the same regardless of if somebody lives in a rural area or in a metro area.
