Not everyone wants to live in some EU places because those areas are too densely packed. Vienna has been voted the most livable city many years in a row, but most residential areas I saw were filled with apartments, condos or townhomes.
Sounds wonderful.
Hard disagree, lol. Judging by the downvotes, this is what many aren’t ready to hear 😂
Get you a house outside of Wien then drive every where!
Except driving was awful because everything is so pedestrian leaning, which is fine actually because EU cities are too densely packed to lean towards more car use. I know that’s by design, and I am okay with people choosing a design they like. I am just saying that I don’t like their design, so I choose to live somewhere else. Simple.
I guess you probably also can't imagine going somewhere and not driving there with your car.
I wouldn't mind living in a city with affordable good apartments with good transit connections, in fact I moved to a small city from the surrounding countryside because I couldn't stand driving to the city all the time.
Now I can and do bike almost everywhere because the distances are all small and the bike paths are of acceptable quality.
Yeah, I like sprawling places and country living. I used to describe it as suburban, but that’s the wrong word. People can do as they please, if you like what you like, more power to you. I hope city centers and near by places become more affordable as I know that’s an issue for many.
