    For me, I like forests because they don’t have thousands of cars driving through them which makes them nice and quiet.

    Yes! I’ve recently bought a house that has a forest on one side and the city on the other. It’s great! I take daily walks on the trails in the woods.

    That’s not weird, it’s human nature. Look up forest bathing.

    I grew up near lakes and forests, so there’s nothing weird about it.

    Not really. I feel a drive to live in a city in spite of not liking crowds. Really what I want is good public transport and internet connection… unfortunately my options for that appear to be live in a city or leave the continent.

    Yes but I think I have an idea as to why. I’m a mechanic by trade so my day is making sure everything is within spec or functioning properly. In the woods everything is chaos but it’s supposed to be; it’s novel. The solitude is a bonus.

    I love forests, they are quiet enough to be calming yet active enough to not be overwhelming and I get more exercise and I also remember things better

    Of course. Humans are not born to live in square apartments next to noisy and ugly things.

    The forest is absolutely beautiful and spiritually healing.

    Humans can’t even make anything as beautiful as a tree. We just make square things and blocks.

      Counterpoint: Islamic architecture and Art Nouveau. To be fair, both are heavily inspired by nature.

      What do you mean ‘real beauty’? I don’t see any means to consider ‘beauty’ as anything but subjective, existing only in the eyes of the beholder.

      Humans can make beautiful things, even beautiful architecture, just look in a museum. It’s just they’re not going for beauty when designing residential housing, usually.
