Why is it not realistic? If you feel the need to leave, is it really the ideal city? It seems that you're hung up on imagining the shitty cities of today, except without cars, not anything resembling an ideal city.



Sorry but this take is just ridiculous. A city is not "ideal" if you never want to leave? What about visiting friends, or traveling, or seeing family?


Why wouldn't your friends and family also live in the ideal city?

What is the ideal city lacking that sees you need to travel for other reasons?

Don't get hung up imagining the shitty cities of today, except without cars, actually think about an ideal city.


What if I want to go climb a mountain? Or go skiing? What if my family can't afford to move, or have good reasons not to move to the ideal city?

There are plenty of reasons you might want to leave somewhere even if it is quite literally perfect.
