Cities automatically make people stupid, lacking in forethought, and hedonistic.

My upbringing was almost backwoods, a mile off the nearest paved road, two hours from the nearest thing that could really be called a city. When first exposed to the big city I found it exciting but I have never wanted to live in the city. Between 1972 and 1982 I went to the Chicago suburbs three times for schools that totaled thirteen weeks. I literally could not comprehend why anyone wants to live there if they have a choice.
I have often wondered what most lifelong city dwellers would do if they had to live as my parents did. People used to have to plan ahead and do things of their own initiative or suffer the consequences, when the Earth started warming in spring they had to have plans made to plant what they would need to harvest in the fall. When fall came they had to cut firewood as well as harvest the crops. I see a lot of people now who seem to have no concept of planning ahead for anything.
People live in cities for specific reasons:
A)It’s possible to make a great deal of money in a relatively short amount of time.
B)It’s possible to compete in terms of skill set against some of the best in the world.
C)To indulge a passion, such as art, music, etc.
