As someone who's lived in Edinburgh, it's hard to take this seriously.
Also, living there, you have access to beautiful nature in relatively little time.

A someone who continuously lives between Edinburgh and Glasgow, yer talking oot yer arse.
Edinburgh is one of those places where it's a "nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there" - i.e. it has some tourist spots - and is getting worse due to lack of infrastructure maintenance let alone building new infrastructure. Glasgow has been turned into a literal shithole. Both thanks to 15 years of a Nationalist Socialist administration hell-bent on nothing but breaking up the UK therefore cares nothing for the people it governs and is one of the most corrupt governments in Western civilisation.
My own house was built in 1885 and is a terraced cottage in an old coal mining town where mining stopped decades ago.
You, are actually advocating I forego this for a pod/apartment in some shitty city somewhere. Have you seen Glasgow or Edinburgh? They're literal shitholes.
Disingenuous people try to paint a picture that their pod living /isn't/ being trapped in a city. Which is simply a lie. These people are advocating for the WEF "you will own nothing, and you'll be happy" dystopia.
To which I say "No."
