I live in a bigger city but I’m currently residing in a cabin in the woods, away from civilization. It has got a fire place going, some basic stuff and lots of board games etc. It also has a nice garden thing where you can just chill out for a bit. There’s beautiful woods surrounding it where you can walk.
I like living in the city, with all its chaos. But whenever I’m out in nature I feel this immense rest coming over me. I don’t know if I can actually live here, but for now it’s good. My gf’s family is talking about buying property in rural Sweden and they want to build a house there, one where the kids can always visit. I like the idea of living a rural simple life. Can’t leave the city now though, with all the activism going on. Bit harder to radicalize the deers in the woods.
Cities are largely a hellscape because of capitalism. Call me a reductionist if you will, but consider - what makes cities in the west hard to live in? Poverty, shitty public services (such as transport), lack of nature - all goes back to the profit motive of the system.
That’s true. Cities can suck ass right now. Socialist cities will be better. Look at Moscow, which is still one of the greenest cities decades after the fall of the USSR.
Moscow subway is also quite famous as far as public transport development goes
I really wanna visit Russia. I went through the Baltics but never got through Russia, but it sounds like a really cool country.
