3. I can do big cities and small towns

but keep me out of those miles and miles of inconvenient, ghettoize women away from temptation, stultifying burbs.

I think it's the conformity that does me in, anything interesting hidden behind freshly painted front doors and a manicured lawn, along with a shit ton of misery that comes with keeping up a bland facade or what will the neighbors think? Not that most people know their neighbors these days. And oh boy, do they ever cling to their quarter acre of America!

Demographics will take care of a lot of it, followed by a simple change in lifestyle driven by higher energy prices.
