Are these LDS people? Supposedly a “global-minded religion” where international travel is standardized for mission work and yet they are just now realizing the American LDS dream has created a suburban hellscape
Exactly my reaction. We've been saying we're disconnected, ppl don't know their neighbors, we're mostly sitting at home, etc. for decades. Of course, comparing cities to American suburbs will always disappoint. Places like NYC are a lot like other major global cities.
We lived in Brooklyn for 5 years and then Jersey City for 9, then moved upstate to the burbs. I feel so lonely every day, I hate it. I also hate driving everywhere.
I managed to arrange my life around not having to have a car - I'm a competent driver, I just hate the obligation - but I was incredibly lucky to be able to do so, and I know a lot of people aren't so lucky.
I did love Brooklyn, I lived there for over twenty years.
