The fact is that enough people enjoy those benefits to maintain the trend.

You should get out more. None of those things are true anymore, if they ever were.

This is one of the things people on the west coast say to make themselves feel better about living in a dystopia, and I know that because I lived that.

I have great access to nature! I'm a short drive from the coast, and an hour from the mountains!

It's all bullshit. You don't have access to anything. It takes 15 minutes to get off your side street to the main street. You can't get to shit in an hour. You can't do a day trip anywhere. You don't have access to jack shit. It takes all day to drive anywhere.

If I sound angry it is because I fell for these lies at one point, so I just wanted to warn people, what jxidlskdjffjklsdhsklad is saying isn't true.

It's a dystopia, and people who live in that dystopia actually do think, "This is the best place in the world and everyone else wishes they could be here!"

Culture!

You will have access to traffic, and to intellectual discussions with the type of person who will tell you, "You aren't in traffic you ARE traffic!"

Enjoy!
