    I’ve been to cities with nice public transit and clean streets.

    I still don’t like cities.

    But I appreciate that if we make cities nicer and more convenient more people would choose them and they’d stop tearing up wild places.

    I will not live in your cities. But I know why they must exist.

      Unless you’re making your own soap etc, you’re still living in a society which wouldn’t function without said cities. So live in them or no, you’re still dependant on them.

          I mean, you could just learn to make your own soap?

          It’s not that hard, just a bit labour intensive at times. But if you actually hunted game you might actually have the ingredients as extra. And you could easily still have it be nice soap, by also having a garden and making simple extracts from plants like jasmine and whatnot for scents.

          I’m kinda jealous about some American “homesteaders” at times, because America is just way better for that, geographically and bureaucratically than Finland. Not that I could afford it anyway but… A man can dream.
