big cities, how long until they eat your soul, and solutions

so i live in a big city in the US, have lived in other big-ish cities
the reasons for living in these big cities is usually the same; more opportunities for money, sex, music, food, etc.
but if you don't need a room service of these items, and you actually start to know what you want/need, at what point do you just feel like 'fuck this place, wtf am i doing here'?
and why did you feel that way?
and what was the resolution?
i will start by saying fuck XXX, you soul sucking waste of future atlantis-ian archaelogical egotistical shit turd of a village of people that could give two fucks, did you evolve to show people just how vacuous and empty you can make people feel in their search for your vomitous anti-fortunes? to lead them on a journey they can never complete?
solution; to leave, with as much money from local XXX-ers as possible, and never give it back, ever
anyone else have strong feelings about city life?

Run to the hills. Me, I'm a Nomad. Living without the sex, the food or the music just doesn’t seem like living at all. But then there’s nature, seems like you need lots of money to just access any of it. However half of it is an illusion any-ways so make up your mind over matter quick because you'r bound to have to make some choices soon.

I must go to the mountains at least twice a month. If I don't I get extremely irritable. Thankfully, the mountains are close as fuck. Denver rules.

Been to Denver, I liked it. Spent most of my time in surrounding area in mountains n such.
I live in Calgary now, mountains are still close and I drive there all the time.. Don't think I'd wanna live in a city that has no quick access to wilderness and mountains ever again.

Cities only eat your soul if you allow them to. I dislike people and live in a city. When you begin to over analyze and think about it, that's when you're fucked.

I think cities are like any other living condition: there are pros and cons.
I've lived in and around several major cities. They're fun, always something to do, interesting people etc. There are drawbacks though, they're loud, sometimes dirty. The suburbs are nice and quiet, but boring and there is no public transport.

I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27. ...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely. Osmond, H. Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436
