I've lived in the city for my entire life. I hate the all the people ontop eachother, litter, noise, smells, dysfunction, snobbishness, traffic etc. I don't understand how seemingly most people want to move in the opposite direction. No, they are not hotbeds for muh crime wave and no, I am not paranoid or racist. The only time where the city is more or less livable is during summer break when half the population is being a plague somewhere else.

I can't wait to gtfo of here and live somewhere rural. Preferably somewhere so boring that it sees minimal tourism.

I hate cities, but I hate suburbs more, and I haaaaaaate rural areas so much more it's unbelievable. (I think what I'd prefer would be like, an actual good city with good planning, a socialist society, etc.)

Away from cities there is little to do, nowhere to go, no one to date. Rural people (around where I live anyways) are incredibly conservative. Like my whole state fucking sucks, but even in my small city I at least am openly and visibly queer and I'm not really scared of bring hate crimed. If I drive an hour out into the countryside, that is NOT the case.
