I don’t have a commute. I don’t have a car, or even a license. I push a shopping cart to the supermarket and back, three of which are within a block of my house. I buy fresh produce every day from a small shop and I haven’t been to a chain restaurant in months.
If anything the cranky should be proof that all that chance encountering and accidental smiling the touristy OP talks about won’t make you any nicer.
Single data points aren’t indicative of a wider trend. Maybe you’re just miserable about your situation…I dunno. Kinda seems like you’re just be a dick to be a dick.
I mean, I get it, some days I wake up in a really bad mood, and I take it out on other people. If thats not what this is, then I pitty you for being the type of person you are.
Hah. Hey, sorry for being a pathetic rube. Good to know we may not have the respect of them big city boys but we at least have their condescension.
FWIW, our area is above average in some pretty concerning mental health issues compared to the national average. It’s not a single data point. Turns out there’s more to mental and physical health than walking to buy tomatoes. Go figure.
I’m not a big city boy…I grew up in a hick ass town with like 2000 people in it. Anyway, have a nice day. This is the least productive conversation I’ve had all day and im not interested in continuing it.

On that we agree.
That just means you’d be even crankier somewhere less walkable!
I’ve lived in a bunch of places, ranging from massive cities to tiny towns. Trust me, the cranky is a universal constant.
I do avoid car-first North American-style city sprawls, though. Nobody knows what would happen there, it’s like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters.
