I was referring to the post I originally replied to, which has since been edited. It called "city people" selfish, depressed and obsessed with money among other tired stereotypes.

City people are actually more selfish, depressed and obsessed with money.

It's not a stereotype, it's true.

There's a lot of data on urban/rural happiness and it all points in the same direction.

As for the other attributes, they are generally true.

Spend more than 3 months solid in the same small town. Then come back to the city - it will feel weird, antisocial, and a little crazy.
