Well, but those things can coexist. That's the difference between living in the heart of a metropolis vs living somewhere far away.

Since I've grown in the countryside, surrounded by all the forests and hills, I really find the cosmopolitan life I've there more exciting.

It may change overtime, sure, but at least I will never have to complain about having lost my time commuting.

It does coexist in some cities, Hong Kong has amazing hiking trails less than 15 minutes from where I live while being one of the densest city in the world. Likewise Kyoto is a relatively big city, 30 minutes away by public transit from Osaka which is even bigger but there's easy access to nature (although in the last 5 years before covid it was overrun by tourists)

> Well, but those things can coexist.

In theory? They can coexist. If you want density, move to a dense city.

In reality? Activists and developers are constantly pushing to upzone and pave over everything in sight.
