I hated Manhattan, I hate Milan which is way smaller but still huge to me… 300k people is my limit. I can get to work in 10 minutes, I can buy groceries down the street from my home, I’ve got 2 huge supermarkets at 5 minutes drive or 30 minutes walk, I’m on the outskirts so if I want to see some green (aside from that outside my window) I don’t even need to reach the park, I can bike out to the fields…
Practically, there’s no mass transit and a general lack of goods and services. More personally, walking around on an empty street is creepy and makes me feel like I’m gonna get jumped.

I start to feel uncomfortable if I stay in a city with less than about 300k people for too long. I grew up in San Diego.

Ah right, US car-centric infrastructure. Can’t confirm with Zurich.
In Texas. Would confirm, but I’m in a traffic shoot out.
There’s something that feel right living with so many strangers around, like it feels safer to me.
For me I just love the energy and the crowds. Can be tiring at times but if I’m away too long I really do miss it.
