A slice of life anime about lawn mowing sounds like a better place to actually live than most anime settings.
Offhand, most of my favorites seem like terrible places to actually live in for non protagonists.

Reply to [OT] Im a little stuck in a traffic jam sequence, i want to describe a constant din of car horns, and i want my reader to get just as annoyed by it as the real sound. Any tips? by soogland
For me, traffic bothers me proportionally more depending on how much of a hurry I'm in. If I have no obligations to be somewhere on time, and I'm not in a particular hurry, it's easier to just put on some music or listen to an audiobook. Conversely, if I'm already late for work, and I need to finish an errand before I can even think about heading to work, and people are counting on me to be there on time, that's when the traffic really gets to me.
Not sure how much this will help you, but that's my experience of it. Unrelated, but I'm reminded of this particular scene that really captured the worst case scenario morning traffic in a humourous way https://youtu.be/C3jizSM6M0o

The prompt would almost work better in reverse.
Cyberpunk edgerunners and living in night city would make that laid back lawn mowing job look pretty sweet in comparison after a week or so.
That's just the first one that came to mind, and night city as depicted in edgerunners is about middle of the road as far as horrific places to live in from recent popular anime.
Attack on Titan, Berserk, Re zero, Hunter x Hunter, Made in Abyss, Mushoku Tensei, Vinland Saga, One Punch Man, One piece, Dorohedoro, Chainsaw man, Fire Punch, that's just a few anime and manga series I've checked out in the last few years that would be really really dangerous to live in.
Anyone so desperately in need of an adrenaline rush that they'd want to visit any anime world outside of the slice of life genre must have a death wish. XD
