One of the things is that I think it's very easy to answer what's bad about a city, right?
So let's go to a large city.
It tends to be expensive.
It tends to be a little constrained, especially, you know, your house, maybe not as big as you'd like.
It's, you know, it's congested.
Maybe it's polluted, maybe noisy.
You know, depending on people's attitudes, you may be hard to deal with that and so on.
It may be dangerous in some cases, in some situations.
Okay.
So the list of bad things is very long and very clear.
And this has probably been true always, actually.
Okay.
Yeah.
Being about old cities like the Romans wrote a lot about Rome, and it's just not very different.
Okay, so it really begs the question that's very interesting.
If there are so many costs, so many disadvantages, what are the advantages, right?
What is binding people to come to these places, particularly as we were talking about before, that more and more people want to live like this all over the world?
And the answer is that we actually don't have a very good answer to that.
You know, everyone should actually express why they think they live where they live.
You know, I can do that.
