[quote=Anonymous]Honestly I am a young person (under age 30) and was never interested in living in the city. I would love to live in a city like Tokyo perhaps, but cities in the US are often smelly, full of trash (other than a couple nice touristy neighborhoods), homeless people, crime etc. as other PP’s pointed out they are also very expensive in both living and cost of living, and you get little natural greenery near your living space. Also, walkability isn’t as great as it’s hyped up to be. It is awesome to be able to dash out and grab a jug of milk when you run out yes, but honestly you will probably be walking several blocks with arms full of groceries whenever you want to do proper shopping. And if you do want to go anywhere outside the city, you have to deal with the snarl of city traffic. (I can’t ever imagine living in a city and using a car, public transport is absolutely mandatory to even start considering the idea). [/quote]
