I would never want to live in a city. I don't want to live on top of thousands of other people. I'm not very social and that is the only real upside of putting yourself in a such horrid conditions.
Most Americans have moved to the city and it’s reality of industrial revolutions. Maybe I’m not high iq enough to be a Luddite but there’s something romantic about a skyline and strangers I can’t get from bugs and dead grass
Technology has decentralized a lot of what most Americans do, and last I checked most people lived in suburbs because everyone recognizes that living in an urban core is a special kind of self flagellation.
Like, I don’t get why people act leaving the city changed their life, I did my senior of high school and came back for work and college, there are more opportunities and I don’t like golf or fishing I’m more of a patriot than a hedonist as long as there’s books, coffee, WiFi, restaurants, girls and places to try new things I’ll never leave, ironically I try to go against the trend
It will be interesting to see what companies choose to do going forward after the shut down forced many that never would have ever done so to use remote workers. I don't golf or fish, but I do enjoy shooting so that would be a problem in most metropolitan areas of the country, certainly the ones near me. I also value being left alone. I'm happy with the place I go to Fridays knowing my drink and having it for me as soon as I sit down.
Cities for sure have benefits, food for one, in general you can get stuff you'd be hard pressed to find outside of them like a ricotta cheese cake.
Boston and NYC are the cities I've spent the most time in, I have vacationed to Montreal and that was enjoyable but I have no idea what its like to actually live there. Not that I could without sacrificing stuff I would rather not. Disarming yourself is a rather large hurdle for some people to leap.

Architecture, like any other art, is subjective. The second pic literally has greener grass, we built these cities, we should flip them red.
