The fall of New York City has been the most heart breaking. That city was built by immigrants coming here trying to do better for themselves. It went through some rough times in the 1970s but its transformation in the 90s is an incredible story thanks to the once greatest police force the world had seen, the NYPD. Statistics are inconvenient now, and despite their efforts being crystal clear as the main factor of the city’s turn around, it’s current leadership can only see what it wants to see.
Of the differences between city a rural landscapes, if I had to pick something as a possible cause for sake of discussion, it would probably be the ratio of churches to person. Something that bothers me a lot about modern life is the lack of church in common routine. It isn’t so much about God as it is knowing your neighbors and forming communities through them.
City life would be the life for me if the cities were like the old days. 1950 and earlier.
So sad how every major US city is a total shit hole now.
We have no world class cities in USA any more, and Europe is the same way.
Hoodrats roaming every city, begging for money, selling drugs, attacking random people, ect.

I have a theory that cities drive most people crazy over time since they are utterly disconnected from human evolutionary nature.
