"A concrete jungle and the exact opposite of nature."
I love the positives each can provide, but at different times. Lived in big cities all my adult life, in 'good' neighborhoods and 'bad'. I do get a chuckle when my suburban liberal relatives lecture me on race, and dish out other signaling silliness.
BTW, I'm to the Left of Marx, meaning that I support actual messy but functioning democracy, rather than stealth totalitarian rule by virtue-signaling vanguards (aka liberals).
Well, I apologize for that remark, Antihip. We’re all different. If you like the Big Apple, who am I to say you shouldn’t live there.
I personally live on a farm and we’re semi self-sufficient. We grow all our own fruits, veggies, and even nuts. I grew up in Flint but I was born to be a country girl. I consider myself blessed to be one; I even had my own horse for ten years and will be looking for another one come spring.
We all help each other out here, whether it’s harvesting fruit, making cider, trimming apple trees, tilling, or baling hay.
I confess also it's time for a lot more greenery at this point in my life. I rent a car to get out of town, even with nothing to do, at least once a month. So you're not too far off.
Sounds like you've got a great setting for yourself, complete with community, and I agree it's hard to want for more.
I guess I admire you for being able to live in an enormous city, something I’d never be able to do. Glad you’re able to get out of town sometimes though. Just driving through the countryside through farmland and woods is so good for the soul.
Before we built this place, we used to love drives in the country. Now every time I go somewhere, it’s a drive in the country 😉
You live in Noo Yawk Shitty, Antihip? Poor you.
We used to visit relatives in upstate NY frequently, and they always commented on what a nice state it would be if it didn’t include NYC.
I was there exactly once. Horrible. A concrete jungle and the exact opposite of nature.

It a beautiful thang 😊

Well, AH, at least you’ve got Central Park.

Gypsy my dear friend.
It might be a 'concrete jungle' to you who live in the rural area of the US.
One thing I can tell you: Is NY was (perhaps is) the only place in the USA where one could have a conversation.
It didn't matter what side of the Establishment you were from there was conversation without 'brawls' or gun toting individuals.
MOST Europeans love NY City because they are people who will listen!
I just had 2 friends of mine (now living in France) who drove from NYC to Seattle. They were terrified to open their mouths out in the boondocks.
