    If you have friends to talk to about city planning, you probably won’t kill yourself. We live in the age of loneliness. People are isolated and feel doomed and hopeless.

      Probably won’t kill themselves, but not a certainty. Unfortunately I’ve lost a number of friends over the years to deaths of despair (drug and alcohol abuse, suicide, etc)

      We definitely live in an age of loneliness that’s undeniable.

      The only way to address it though is to get out there because our infrastructure is built to isolate and people have been raised to fear their neighbors.
