I used to read news like this about N America and be like, what they don’t have cafes and restaurants where people live? What a strange way to live

Then I worked in a N American city government and got to see how much weirder it really is.

Still super weird to me. I live in a ‘bad neighborhood’ coz I have tasty food downstairs and round the corner. I don’t know how to live differently

@skinnylatte I'd go mad if I didn't have places like that! Glad I never moved to N America.

@monsoonrains if you’ve ever played sim city, it’s a bit like that.

@monsoonrains there are pros and cons about this place, namely that i don't think i can live somewhere else at this point in my life, but there are some things i don't really like about it, like cars
