City living affects your brain, researchers find

I’m surprised how little consideration or discussion this gets, but I shouldn’t be. Introspection and self-criticism is not exactly the strong suits of urban liberals.
This lack of ability to consider and relate to things outside their little bubbles is what worries me the most about future voting.
While entertaining, the crying on Election night, and the TDS since then, is just scary.

"Some thrive in New York city; others would happily swap it for a desert island. Psychologists have found that a substantial factor accounting for this variability is the perceived degree of control that people have over their daily lives. Social threat, lack of control and subordination are all likely candidates for mediating the stressful effects of city life, and probably account for much of the individual differences."

Close, but...

You can't live in close contact with a shite ton of people like you do in a place like NYC without having it take a toll on your mental health. Huge cities are a fricking rat race. It's a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there applies to practically every metropolitan city I've been. It's unfortunate that city liberals export their heightened sense of anxiety and craziness outside city limits.

Decades ago in while taking a psychology class I read about study done with rats.They put a few rats in large caged environment with plenty food and water.When there were only few rats they got along peacefully.As time went on the population increased,after a certain population density was reached the rats started fighting and exhibiting deviant behavior.Once the population density got really high the rats became increasingly intolerant and fights became violent to the point they would kill each other.Mother rats started eating their babies,all kinds of psychotic behavior became common.
Of course people aren’t rats and personalities differ,some people thrive in large,crowded city environments.Other people seem to become impatient,irritable and rude.
My wife hates to go to big cities,I like to go for a few days.But after a certain amount of time I become “nervous”( for lack of a better word )and I’m ready to go home.
I certainly wouldn’t want to live in big city environment.

I personally have liked living in NYC but 5 years is too much. My kids are starting to grow up and I dont want them to grow up here, so we are headed back to Arkansas ASAP. The worst part about the city is you can never get away, like it said it's been fun but I'm ready to get out.

Impatient, irritable and rude is the default attitude for most big city dwellers. When I was younger, living in NYC would have appealed to me. I'm a night owl and I partied a lot back then; the city would have been a playground. Now, the wife and I live about an hour outside NYC by train. We'll go into the city on a Saturday or Sunday for lunch, shopping and whatnot. We spent a week last year in London and that was about all we could stand. Getting anywhere is a hassle. Too hot and too many fricking people.

When the wife and I were discussing the future before we got married the big subject of where we would live came up. Her job had her working out of NYC for around a decade at that point.
I told her I enjoyed going up there but it was far too claustrophobic for me to ever move up and live there.

Living in NYC and SF from 2011 - 2018 or so, I've definitely become more of an a-hole. NYC taught me to be confrontational somehow, but only when I see people doing rude things. NYC, for little things, seems to police itself pretty well. SF? shite show. I called a 30-something white woman out for trying to skip the BART queue. Half the people on the train thought I was "mean" and I shouldn't call her out.
There are two kinds of liberals; that's for sure.
