I’m curious about why you keep living there despite what you describe. Does it affect your life a lot?

Like living anywhere there are pros and cons. The pros list is pretty freaking long, and the cons list has gotten smaller over the years.

This situation has certainly added a con to the list, though it hasn’t changed the balance of the equation so far.

For me, the whole thing is more emotionally taxing than anything. Though it’s not that different from living in Manhattan in terms of the sadness you see every day.
