    I think the downvotes are the blanket statement of “if people can work and live anywhere they want, they want nature”

    I like nature just fine and have worked from home for most of the past ten years but you couldn’t get me to give up the city for the country and I’ve had the option for a long time. I moved from Atlanta to Seattle because i preferred the opposite of what you said people want.

      Seattle has a shit ton of nature in the city though, and we’re also getting a decent transit. We have greenery crawling up the concrete everywhere.

        Atlanta is called the city in the trees/forest, in comparison Seattle may as well be the concrete jungle

          Let’s get something straight, I love the city. I love and live in Seattle and love it too, even with all of its quirks. I think a walkable city is great. It is not for everyone and people have to figure that out.

          They have micro apartments that were a nightmare before the pandemic, it was the best that some could afford. Granted, there was a lot of rent price fixing going on as well, not sure if that’s being fixed or not. Would you want to raise your kids in a dorm room or a studio apartment?
