I call BS.
Any time I’m in NYC, I end up with congested lungs and shortness of breath.
I’m a country guy but went to Boston for a business trip. At first it was fun. Out one night with some coworkers who lived there was an eye opener.
While on the subway they spoke to no one, didn’t even look at them, same while waiting for a train. Back up on the street, it was walk fast and don’t talk because of the street hustlers.
I’de had enough of that after the first night. That’s no way to live.
Fear, anxiety daily. You can have it.
Me, too. Urban populations are younger and poorer. Urban homicide rates are much higher.
The older, fatter and richer 'burbs will have longer life expectancies -- from birth.
