Questions from Patreon Part 73 - Big Cities, Social Media Addiction, FOMO Game Mechanics

You can send in questions by messaging my on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/SebastianSB/ Dmitry Egorov: You mentioned many times that you'd like to live in a densely populated area where you'd have a number of restaurants within minutes of walking. Would you actually prefer that to living in suburbs? I recently visited the US and was impressed by the suburban lifestyle - chill, low noise & traffic, lots of space, 2-car garages, etc. Yet I was never too far from a big road with lots of businesses, maybe within 20 minutes of walking. This was in California, just east of LA. I also lived in a densely populated European city and was not digging it at all. Tiny apartment, loud neighbors that are way too close. Yes, you can walk to a restaurant, but you're also probably living above one, with music and drunk people yelling until 2AM. It was much more stressful and not worth it, so I had to leave. Yet I hear people shit on suburbs all the time, especially people who study city planning. Am I missing something? Maybe they are not as good where you live? Would you move to a city if you could? [and then a bunch of ranting about driving, social media, FOMO game mechanics, etc]
