Im moving to the city in a few days and Im nervous as fuck (grew up in a small town, first apartment by myself)send me some cityscapes to hype me please
City-life is a chance to reinvent yourself, redefine who you hang out with, bask in a huge populous that doesn't care when you fuck up (complete opposite of small town drama), food and nightlife at 3:47am if you feel like, hobbies and entertainment galore.It has its downsides but it has a lotta ups. You should be more excited than nervous.
best of luck anon. where are you moving to?
>>8015328Im just in my own head is all. Im 28 so I missed a lot of social milestones by waiting this long and I tried to move out a few years ago but covid stopped that.I guess I just accepted that Id never leave my town and now that I am (and this late in the game) Im anxious. Its also not the place I really wanted so Im actually a little bummed
>>8015238one of the nice thing about cities is that there's so many people you're virtually invisible amongst the herd. in a couple weeks you'll feel no different than a city boy.
>>8015466im in the same boat, been trying to leave my city to go out and see whats out there but each time something happens that keeps me tied down here. im 25 now, been trying to leave since 21. im saving up for a car finally. with that, ill be gone. i want to see whats out there
city living gets olds after awhile. Eventually youre going to want to migrate to a small town once you want a family, despite wanting so desperately to get away from them when youre young. Utilize it now to build your career and social life and enjoy it now, but eventually youre realize how based small towns really aret. 35 year old trying to get out
>>8015482That's partly why I'd love to move to a big city. To blend in and just live my life surrounded by everything I'd ever need. Cities at night just hit different.
>>8015238Depending on your employment imo party for one year in the city and move back. Small towns are so much comfier.
>>8015339You just helped me realize that this wallpaper is part of a series of city wallpapers made by the same guy. He's called Romain Trystram and has some good stuff
>>8017996thats the planIve also moved in already. Thanks for the good vibes everyone
Go out there and live. You'll be fine. Make mistakes, have ups, have downs. Nobody is made for staying in the same place forever.
>>8017996Cities can be comfy too
>>8020637Cities can be comfy in certain locations and at certain hours, but dealing with crowded areas, clogged traffic, rude people, the excessive noise, and stress of all the urgency will always make cities less comfier than small towns or rural areas. I do like being in the city every once in awhile though.
>>8015238I lived in a city only for a while. It has charms even for an introvert like me.
>Cities can be comfy in certain locationsYeah, I was referring to cities in Europe, North America or even Japan, not cities like Dhaka, Bombay or Caracas which are the opposite of comfy.
That's enough for now, I guess.
>>8015238Good luck anon! City life is extremely fun imo. A lot of freedom to seek shit out on your own, or to find stuff to do with friends (who are always nearby if you can make them). Coming out of the suburbs my first couple years in the big city were extremely fun.

Hi /wp/,Does anyone have any of Ottawa, Ontario? I'm feeling nostalgic for how this city used to be before all the vile glass towers and assholes from Toronto.Doesn't have to be old pictures. I just want to admire my city at night.They can change my neighbourhood, but I won't let them change what my neighbourhood meant for me as a child.
>>8021948Great photo but every time I see these gigantic cities I feel like they're too big and too crowdedI'm cool with my humble little 1.5 million hab euro city

>>8024995Thanks anon. Not OP but this made me nostalgic to my Carleton days. Walking down bank st was a comfy activity any time of the day.
>>8023147saved just because it's a train bridge
And now for something different
>>8020635I lived last year year in Madrid while working and studying and went back a couple months ago to my South American country. I miss it so much you have no idea. I can go back whenever I want but without a job it's almost impossible.
>>8020637I'm a suburbanfag but i was lucky to visit Stockholm Sweden ten years ago and it was truly one of the most comfy experiences of my life. European cities seems to have that feeling down pat, I'm not so sure about American cities
Will post my city

The vile cities suck dry the blood that the country nourishes..
Can ruralfags go away like Jesus Christ lighten up
>>8015359I left LA three years ago despite being born there because I was finally priced out. East Coast life has been slower, and it's given me time to save money and develop parts of my life that needed some calm, but I still feel my soul called home to visit a couple of times a year and just...get lost once in a while. There's nowhere quite like it.

I went from a shitty ass village outside of a backwater town to a smaller city and i'm never looking back
>>8040113
>>8039849I used to live in New York for college, and all my extended family lives in that area, and it seems like every type of food you can think of is thereOne time, I went to an Uzbekistan place for lunch if you can beleive it
>>8040113How much population in your "smaller city", this can mean all sorts of size depending on the country. I live in a city that is around 500000 and it hits pretty nicely but then it's the only one I've ever known, so what do I know...?
>>8040901Fuck this decrepit shithole
any of boston? ive only been there once so i may not recognize if any has been posted itt, but i absolutely loved it
>>8041482>any of boston?Here's one in the Skylines at Night thread: >>8026226
>>8041489thanks!unfortunately i didnt have time to walk along that walkway, but the day i was near it, it was cloudy anyway
Glad I got to this thread before it fell off. I was looking for this particularly - I'm moving to Paris after the olympics this year. I've been living in some backwater rural village in the US for the last few years and I can't fucking wait to get out. The grocery store is 30 minutes by car (which I pay an absurd amount to have each month, and i HAVE to have it as there is literally nothing resembling public transportation) yet everything is so loud because I'm not far from a major highway. Awful. Very excited to be out of here soon. Anyway. Does anyone have anything of Paris or French cities in general? Preferably ones that aren't just 'look it's the eiffel tower'also please don't respond to this post telling me how much you hate paris. I don't really care

Great Paris papes. Any Rome ones in a similar vein?
Let me start by saying you do what you want to do. Wanna live in a city? Do it. Out in the country? Do it. An isolated island in the Pacific? Do it. I'm not telling you what to do. Find your own way.That said, I think a lot of what's being said ITT has to do with the age of the posters. When you're young, you wanna be with other humans. We're social animals. But there comes a time in most people's lives when you wanna be sleeping by 9:00 or 10:00 at night. You wanna be up and around in the daytime. And you begin to value space. Elbow room. Might happen as early as 35 or as late as 60, but it'll probably happen. You'll get sick of the crime. The trash. The urine smell of the streets. And your view of the millions of fellow city dwellers will be less flattering. You'll see that many of them are cold, soulless, and just concerned about themselves. You'll begin to ask yourself, "Why do I like being here again?" Not EVERYONE goes through it exactly like this, but enough do. But if you like the city until you're 99, more power to you!
>>8042545>>8042546>>8042547>>8042549Thank you anon, love you
>>8042622sounds a lot to me like "you get bitter with age" desu and i am trying extremely hard to not let that happen as I grow older.

>>8021734Where is this? It looks like Greenwich village but when I did reverse image search it said boston?
>>8015238why are you nervous anon? I hope you discover how fun it is living alone instead of seeing it as gay and lonely, might be a bit eerie at first with how quiet it gets but once you settle in, it's freeing to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Idk what city you're going to but make an effort to check out most restaurants/museums/etc. Live a proper city life. Take advantage of it. A lot of people would like this opportunity but will never have it for various reasons.

>>8015238I wish I could live in the city. Cities in my country suck unfortunately because of rampant unemployment and skyrocketing crime rate. I always look at tall buildings and think that there's so much floor area filled with stuff, furniture, clutter, little ornaments, decor items, so many infinite objects I will never see. So many areas I'll never explore.
>>8021948Imagine all the fucking...
surprised this one wasn't posted
>>8046376>Cities in my country suck unfortunately because of rampant unemployment and skyrocketing crime rate.What country?
>>8015328Really liked your post anon, i saved it as a wp

>>8015238I'm sorry for your loss.
>>8015238Hope everything is going well, anon.
>>8015971Hope everything is working out, anon.
>>8015238same shit different city. bunch of roads and a wal-mart. you'll be fine.
Do you guys actually think they're a good idea to go to when you're young? I'm giga incel and poor but if my crypto gambling works out, I was thinking I'd try a small town in the Northwest instead after living my whole life in the Midwestern suburbs. I'd be able to afford to bounce around if my wallet was fat enough anyway
>>8042658Then there's guys that're bitter since youth desu, I don't know what to do with myself

>>8056339this is mirrored right?
>>8059039Whenever you see the name justingod, expect the picture to have been pointlessly mirrored and/or color tinted.
>>8015238You will find this picture to be the essence of "the city". You and I live in a dystopia my friend.
Grass is always greener. Take a road trip, it's the same shit wherever you are just different scenery. All culture is the same. The same decaying infrastructure built 50 years ago, the roads and people. You'll end up spending most of your time in a tiny overpriced apartment aside from going to the store or work. You walk the city maybe once or twice a year and it's the same shit. "Ooooh look at that building that I can stare at ahhh so much same piss smelling streets to exploree".Not to be a negative Nelly about it all, but all the answers you ever need are already inside of yourself. I had my share of travels and now I live in the country side with my poppy fields and fiber internet. Maybe if you're a social butterfly it's neat but if you're the lonesome type a city is hell.
>>8059244>>8059245you niggers cant stop yourselves from being political in a thread and completely trying to derail it, huh?wish mods actually did something on this fucking board.
>>8060169Anon was just offering OP a harsh but realistic view of modern city living, particularly in the western world; now if you don't like that harsh reality, and/or you just wanna to bury your head in the sand and deny to yourself the impact politics has on everyday folks lives then that's your problem, but it doesn't change the fact that modern life, and modern city living in particular, and politics, are all very closely intertwined and worthy of at least some note if not some discussion.So no, Anon wasn't derailing the thread, he was making a valid on-topic observation, and then you waded in for no reason without posting any on-topic content yourself.And before you or anyone else goes there, I've already posted all my city papes herein, so I've no more papes to share with this thread.
>>8047941the most kino thing posted
>>8054588cities are where you go when you're young to accelerate your career, network, and have a blast. it's the best time to go.i grew up in the Midwest and picked up to Shanghai. tripled my salary in a few years and moved back to the US.
>>8020662I guess it all depends on your background. I grew up in a major metro area and while cities can feel stifling and overwhelming, I've never felt such a sense of soul-crushing dread as when I lived in a country town. The realization that there was basically nothing to do there and that I was stuck with the same ~2000 people in my town, half of which were junkies, until I found a job elsewhere was very depressing.Rural aesthetics are certainly nice though.
>>8042537oh you dont care how awful paris is ameribro ? well you will find out soon enough>t.frenchfag who moved out of the paris region last year
>>8033531>I'm not so sure about American citiesI'm sure living in American cities in certain states can be nice, even comfy, but the largest cities like NYC and LA look dreadful to me. Then again, where I live the largest city's metro area is 200k people in total, so maybe that's just my background speaking for me.
I really wish they rebuilt the Twin Towers.

If you ever want nice city wallpapers I recommend unsplash.Myself, reaching 30 soon, am very much considering moving to at least a mid sized city.Living with your family is nice and all, but it becomes overbearing at some point.

This is my favorite city skyline paper that I almost lost on a dying HDD... glad to have been able to find it again. I believe it's Chicago.
My favorite city architecture / minimalist / abstract (ish) wallpaper.
Toronto for ya.
>>8074869More like Parkinglotsburg
>>8015971Belgrade?
>>8023310Any wallpaper with the same colors?
>>8015482Always weirds me out to see cities zoomed out like this and realize they are miles and miles and miles and miles of concrete. Especially american cities with their endless suburbs.
>>8040769you probably won't see this but my city has a population of around 80000 which is alright but it can be bigger. i think the major reason this city is so much better is because i actually live inside of this city instead of outside of it
post some bums, more accurate

>>8086504>imagine living thereThat manor with the green in the space between the abbey and the town looks just perfect
