Meh, I disagree, except for that it would be nice to have better access to a car right now. I could buy one if I had an income, but I'd only do so reluctantly.

Living in a rainforest-like climate in Vancouver, I couldn't be happier. Ya, I could use a little more space than my studio. Ya, it sucked so bad when the pandemic hit, but much much less so than in suburban areas. I still only walk 2 mins to a bar or where I buy groceries. Transit is the same. Mountains aren't far etc.. To say urbanites have been set back decades is ridiculous.

That said, idk about living right downtown, but I've always hated it anyway because it's a boring landscape with boring people.
