They probably assumed this is like a theme park or something and not an actual city that people actually live in year round. Cities having nice, people friendly places away from cars? Who’s ever heard of that?
The problem is that I have to live next to those people for the other 11 months
Living in large groups is literally one of the defining traits of our species though.

It’s not even crime. Cities are safer. It’s the feeling of never being truly alone. I miss it so…
Do kbin.social users even notice the irony in their name?

Like, about a hundred people? Okay. As long as my house is far away.
Literal millions of them? No thank you.
Yeah that’s exactly how human civilization has worked. Little known fact, athens was basically a rural town of about 200 people and each dwelling was about 2 miles apart. The ancient Egyptians are so overrated. There were about 120 of them. TV really lays it on thick with Manhattan. Only about 75 people live there in reality, and most of them live on farms!
I’m of the opinion that human civilization was a bad idea.
Perhaps try giving it up, then? You can start by getting rid of your smartphone, then Internet. Electricity, plumbing… Pretty much every comfort…trade.
Oh what’s that? No, to all that? That’s what I thought. It is not civilization you dislike. You like all the sides that benefit you directly. You just have so little empathy that the idea that another human might inconvenience you for a moment with their existence is just beyond your ability to tolerate. A selfishness so extreme, being a hermit sounds enticing if it were just more convenient, eh?
