The City

One finds that, if one were to express moving to a certain US city, such as Los Angeles, or Miami, or Austin, one is constantly reminded by residents that the city is not truly a bastion of livability and community. Given, however, the fact that the vast majority of US cities are as such, one wonders if it is simply a manifestation of everybody's perpetual despair and ennui at living in the same city that they always have, hoping deep down they could be somewhere else, vainly attempting to convince others that their home is, indeed, of poor quality.
