If "civilization" means crazy ass traffic, $7 Whoppers, buildings so close together I can touch the next building by reaching out a window, and a 1 bedroom apartment that costs in excess of $2000, you can have it.
Hmmm, let's see.
The standard Dreamlord response, ironic considering he's never been anywhere near NYC or any other northern city for that matter.
Crazy ass traffic? check. Of course Atlanta, Houston, Dallas & Phoenix all have significantly worse traffic problems than NYC. And at least we know how to fucking drive.
$7 Whoppers? Um, no. Not the first time this has been mentioned by the king of Houston, but I've never even spent $7 at Burger King, let alone on a single sandwich.
Buildings so close together...? Nope. I don't know what you think the north is like, but it's not London bub. I couldn't even touch the building next to mine with a ladder, some hemp rope and crazy glue.
$2000 one-bedroom apartments? Sure, somewhere. Just like they exist in Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, etc. as well. Of course, I live in a 1-bedroom apartment that costs $1495. And is 1100 square feet. You do understand real estate cost and how it's derived, right? It's based on the simple principle of supply and demand. The more valuable the land, the more it costs a landowner to cover the costs of owning/leasing a building on that land.
In other words: the more expensive the cost of living, the more expensive, i.e. DESIRABLE, the land on which it sits. Silly southerner. Where's Josh, he'd LOVE this convo!
