the uni I got to is located in one of the most expensive areas of the city. Houses or condos on or near campus are astronomically expensive and the few dorms are reserved for international students whose parents failed to exploit their peasants extensively enough to amass the fortune required to buy them a place of their own. To make matters worse, city planners opted to preserve high house prices by building as few major thoroughfares as possible, with the result that transportation to or from school is essentially strangled. Or fucking anywhere for that matter. Our traffic congestion is on par with Los Angeles. I also have poor mental health (ie I'm a defective subhuman) so I lack the resiliency to deal with our strange, hard world. My episodes cost me the majority of my friends.

Basically though, I live the way I do because I'm a fragile person who loves solitude and comfort, and that's entirely my responsibility. I don't like living in my Asian anthill of a city where it's every man for himself, just like in Shanghai or Delhi I guess. Thanks boomers for radically altering the ethno-cultural makeup of my homeland, I'm sure it will be alright for you, you'll be dead already when the genocides start.
