I don't know how people even live there. Like do they view a flat, open the window, be greeted by a cacophony of engines and sirens and helicopters and go "OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING! SARAH COME OVER HERE AND LISTEN TO THIS! I CAN BARELY HEAR MYSELF THINK! I'LL GIVE YOU TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A MONTH FOR IT!"
Mostly because it's not like whatever nonsense you just imagined.
But you do get the ability to walk everywhere you need and incredible amounts of culture. Food, music, art, history, social gatherings.
We close the window.
