There’s tens of thousands of villages (if not more) like this all over the world. You are welcome to live in any of them. I’m sure “NYC” was just as boring then as those places are now. If you enjoy the amenities NYC of today has to offer, you can’t really complain that’s it’s not a pastoral rural village anymore.

My complaint, specifically, is that NYC does not prioritize quality of life for humans over profit for millionaires and billionaires. Making a city enjoyable and healthy to exist in is important. But you can keep on arguing for cancer if it makes you feel good. It's a major failure to not keep nature in mind when designing a city, don't you think?
