Ones that come to mind for me are Vegas, Toronto, Paris

    Phoenix. Don’t ever make the mistake of moving there or you’ll have a hard time leaving. It’s the closest thing to purgatory I’ve ever experienced. I certainly aged, but I don’t think I matured a day while I was there.

        It’s the world’s biggest parking lot. Every tree is artificial unless it’s a cactus. The few places you can climb give you a great view of said parking lot. It’s 40 miles wide and can take over an hour to cross, yet bizarrely, everywhere you need to be is 30 minutes away. Some street intersections require multiple passes of building prior knowledge to safely traverse.

        I seen my first 8 years there riding the public transport there and it’s an entirely separate hell. Everything goes from 30 minutes away to anywhere from an hour to 90 or more. I would say about 6 months of my time spent there must have been traveling.

        And never to go anywhere actually interesting. Everything is one or two floors unless it’s an office building you’ll likely never have the lifestyle to be a part of unless it’s a temp gig.

        They are neighborhoods so similar, miles apart from each other that I almost knocked on the wrong friend’s door before I realized I had driven to the wrong place.

        I could go on…

          That sounds fucking awful my guy. I live in Red Deer Alberta, and it has its faults but I enjoy jogging and skateboarding and walking my dog and the trails here are amazing.
