    Cities feel dead to me. There’s social stuff, maybe but it’s easy to get lost in it all.

    Give me a community with some vibrancy in spitting distance of some wildlife instead.

      Well built and maintained cities with green spaces and neighborhood organizations totally have community and wildlife. Cities that have had their naturally grown social systems and ecosystems disrupted with gentrification and bad urban planning feel dead, but so do rural areas that got poisoned by irresponsible agriculture and mining and industry collapses.

      Give me a dense urban center with public transportation and parks and wildlife that knows what time of day the bakers throw out yesterday’s stale bread

      e; and neighborhood block parties where local musicians jam and raise money for food pantries

        Vienna/Austria has boars, foxes, badgers and more! Even a healthy population of deer on the central graveyard :-) A few months ago a weasel fell in our small backyard garden and panicked our cats lol

        Fairly often you’ll see deer in and around Cleveland. So if you’re into wildlife, public transport, and the infinite depression of urban collapse…
