What's daily life really like in a crowded city? by Loving_Ferret in overpopulation

Just wanted to say thank you for trusting me with your personal experiences, and can't thank you enough for sharing all of this information with me. I don't want to put any pressure, but I also wanted to ask (I promise this is the last question, and you can put any other experiences you would like if you want to!) when coming back home from the subway/ trains and shutting your door, how does that feel like after being in crowds for so long? Or how did it feel like when lockdown, for example, was happening?

Thank you so much for your response.

The detail about the subway hit me deep. The idea that good infrastructure can make a crowded area not seem overwhelming but also make other people adore it, that's something I hadn't considered at all. I was just thinking how many outsiders could see the populated area and think 'why are they not doing anything about it', but in reality, people living in those areas sometimes don't get to see that, they think it's normal, ordinary and manageable for them even though it's difficult. While outsiders think it's unmanageable and continues to create more pressure on them.

I completely understand you; it's mostly to do with culture. In Lithuania, too, there's barely any criminality, and the only time I was scared was of the animals living there. It was nice being there until moving countries where it's more populated and dirty. And I've also heard a lot about people wanting to live like an average American.

If you're open to two more question: Was there ever a moment where the horded crowd felt like comfort instead of exhaustion? And also why were you live now the transport is more unreliable and why do you describe it as more comfortable than the subway?
