>Even if you find my specific preference too green, and you prefer pollution.

I don't live in NYC right now because I like more laid back places with easy access to nature. I like to currently spend as many of my days off as possible in the woods or in a kayak, and living in NYC at this point of my life wouldn't align with that. I actually get to do what I want with my free time right now because I live in a place that offers it. If I wanted to be back in the heart of a super busy metropolitan with a ridiculous amount of options for human interaction and food and entertainment options, then I would move back.

Part of growing up is realizing what you want and pursuing it with the options that you have available.

You only have so much time in life. Being miserable and telling everyone that you know how to make them happier better than they do sounds like an awful and lonely way to spend it.

Go ahead, fight with everyone around you and try to insult them. The rest of us are living our lives and enjoying ourselves. Give it a try. Or don't. Nobody really cares if you decide to be miserable or happy.
