I really like cities, but they are simply unsustainable at this level.
Washington, DC, where I call home, has reached its saturation point. Traffic is miserable and our mass transit system, which is pretty damn big, can't keep up with the population. The pollution here is getting intolerable. The rents and home prices are astronomical and I would have to imagine that the stress level is high for everybody.
And this is the capitol of capitalism.
