What is the most NEET-accessible city? At the very least, it would need:
• Affordable rent and otherwise low cost of living
• To be livable without a car (can reach necessities by foot, bikeable, good public transportation)
• Low violent crime (or at least low enough that you won't get mugged on the street)
• Basic broadband internet
• Some quiet places where you can be alone (libraries, parks, trails)

Ehhh, I would love to find a place with rent I could afford. I get disability money because I'm sick (and not in the head, or at least they don't pay me for that) but I live near LA, so all the apartments seem to require a minimum of 1k a month. Living with other people would be a huge hassle, but if I don't have decent internet and have to worry about the neighborhood constantly it'll also be a hassle.

Usually about $700-$800 a month. Technically I'm not allowed to save much of it up either, but I pay 'rent' at home, and then some of it gets invested.

[Anonymous No.]

Though not a city, you should look into small towns out in the country. The house I live in has a rent of only $450 a month, and I just pay half of it because I live with my mother. Depending on which part of the country you pick, you may or may not have crime. While the south is generally filled with hardcore religious folk, it's very quiet and violent niggers will be lynched long before they can reach you.

The closest grocery store to me is less than a mile away, so I can walk to get my food. This place also has a great internet connection for somewhere so far from a city.

There are plenty of quiet places, and you can just walk a bit and find some woods to hide in if you want an even quieter place.

The only problem is there is little to no work at all, but you don't want to work anyway.

-Pretty darn safe, never hear about any crime
-Durr internet

Rent where I live right now is $500 a month, but I know a few places where I could live in a 2 bedroom apartment for $300. I could potentially cut that down to cost because I know the person who owns it. I'd still have to pay for everything else, though. Internet, utilities, etc, whereas I get utilities and internet free here.

Everything is within walking distance, even if I do own and drive a car.

Last post, I've run out of photos and things to talk about.

In terms of arcade games, they're much closer to Japan as well. The arcade I visited a couple times had a Project Diva Arcade which was always up to date, they also had 8 Wangan Midnight 3dx+ cabinets, two Taiko 15 machines, beatmania, drummania, guitar freaks, some Initial D game, bunch of Gundam vs and 5 Gundam VR Pods.

I hear the other arcades have similarly up to date games, stuff like Jubeat. The prices are also absurd, all the games in this particular arcade cost 1 HKD, or 13 US cents. Project Diva was the most expensive and even then it cost 5 HKD, or 65 cents.

Also there's an AKB store in HK, I randomly discovered this whilst researching.

>>10204032
>How about the language barrier? Do I have to learn Cantonese?
HK used to be British territory until 1997, hence a large amount of the populat speak 'some' English, but in practice you'll find that the majority of people don't really speak English. The more....'cultural' a place is, the most likely they don't speak English. But if you go to the touristy places they'll probably speak some English.

>Also do the DVDs come with English subs?
No, they import goods from America but I don't think they import American anime goods. In fact I don't think I saw anime DVDs or BD much when I was over there.

You're forgetting the most important thing. Privacy. You won't have any in the places mentioned so far.
Take a walk through your nearest urban centre sometime, see what the future is going to look like. Bring a notepad and count the cameras.

There's a island country in the North Atlantic with a population of seventy million people and over five million security cameras. More are being installed every day. Maybe you don't care if the government is watching you, but how would you feel if I told you that every single one of your movements is being logged and meticulously taken apart by automated image analysis software? Your eyes are unique. So is the distance between your eyes, the size of your jaw, and it doesn't end there. Your bone structure and body mass distribution are unique, too. This means that the way you walk is special. You can put on a mask and straighten up your posture but the cameras will still know who you are just from seeing you fling your legs around like a rubber chicken.

Which brings me to my next point. The places you visit, your routine, is part of your identity. And so are the things you buy. While all that mark of beast crap spouted by conspiracy fans is exaggerated, the plastics you buy every day at the market will be tagged with radio transmitters and a serial number to prevent theft. This means that the same cameras that spy on you will also be able to tell what's in that bag you're carrying. All this information will be automatically processed by computer software, which will write your dossier, detail your behavioural patterns, update it every time you leave the house and if needed be raise a red flag if your movements become suspicious or erratic.

Someone will ask "what do I care? I'm not doing anything wrong"

I'll tell you who cares. Your employer. There's a good chance some if not most of this information will be publicly available. Businessmen will want to know who is that young man who just applied for a dishwasher position at their local fast food chain. Their human resource specialists will get the tapes and zoom in to your face.

Small chin. I can count 5 zits and a black spot on the back of that tooth. He didn't speak to anyone on the way home, and only left his house a grand total of 3 times this week. Received a package containing strange foreign pornography. Credit card records demonstrate a passion for these goods. No facebook account found. Conclusion: the candidate has poor social skills, no discipline, poor self esteem. 3/10 would not hire.
That's not even the worst part. Human resources specialists are usually subcontractors, that means they work for multiple companies. Once a company has been refused to hire you, you will be essentially blacklisted and will never be able to make a living, not without changing who you are of course.

This is what the western world will be like 15, 20, maybe 25 years from now. Start making plans to move somewhere like Khartoum.

I don't mind living here in the East Valley in AZ, specifically the East Mesa/Gilbert area. It's incredibly quiet, slow, and safe for the amount of people living here. AZ also has some of the best internet in the US. There's parks of all sorts here and a handful of libraries. According to Wikipedia the place is cheap to live in as well. The only thing from that checklist that doesn't apply to here is accessability. Walking is very inconvenient with how far everything is, but waiting for a bus would take too long. Biking might be your best bet, which is easy to do year-round with the mild weather.

After living here for my whole life I've got say that in the end it's so boring that it's depressing. There's a lot of finished plazas without a single shop in them, housing areas that are mostly vacant, and these nicely lit wide streets with only couple cars in them. It's very much a big city with small city planning.
