Plenty of cities have good access to nature and green spaces.

I grew up in “nature” (aka a forest that emerged from not working farmland iykyk) and every ride to school, the grocery store, a friend’s house, or heaven forbid medical care or a restaurant visit involved 30-45 minutes of driving. That sucks.

We can’t pretend the endless GMO soybean and corn fields are much better in some rural settings

some of us like to live close to friends, family, or work…

and some of us prefer not sitting in cars, trucks, or tractors all day.

The horror! :-)
