One of my constraints around ‘places to live’ is, I have never, not once in my life lived somewhere where I need to ‘get into a private vehicle and travel somewhere else to food or things’. I’ve always lived in ultra dense big cities (SF being the smallest one), and so that sort of walkable or bus or train type situation, going round the corner in my pajamas to get galangal, or to to the fishmonger, instead of big box stores and cars, is just broadly what I prefer. And there aren’t that many places to live like that this side of the world
I think I would be extremely depressed if I changed that
I couldn’t even walk 10 steps of my house yesterday without my neighbor forcing me to take a giant ‘zongzi’ (Chinese rice ‘tamale’ eaten for some special occasions)
I also got fed homemade soy milk so I’m happy
