When you overcrowd animals they turn on each other. It also happens with insects. I believe that it is post traumatic stress and inhuman living conditions in those tall apartment buildings with limited green space, no trees on the streets, no birds, no living things. They are unfit for humans even if they come with gold tipped soaking bathtubs etc. Living walking distance to the opera, and theaters is not going to make up for all the people all the time that you are tripping over, that you must compete against just to survive. I believe such living conditions cause permanent PTSD and these people cannot relax even in retirement.
At least I can say this is true for my north city. And the cranes are still out, they are constructing more and more high rises. More buildings, more density, more congestion and our politicians are mostly looking forwards to all the property tax they are going to collect. They are smacking their lips. It is so sad I believe it is slow suicide for the people of the city.

Yupper. Seeing one of the worst things in the History of many of our lives on TV is one thing. Having the smoke from it and the bicycles from the people who didn't make it home from that day rusting away in bicycle racks months later may give someone an edge that takes time to subside if in fact it ever does. I thought people who went to therapy were weak dopey people. I don't think that way anymore.
We all have an Edge and that Humongous Day didn't help to chill us out! The Villages did. A Geographical Change that actually was a Cure. Very Grateful.
