Yeah, I think you're being a bit hyperbolic, but I generally agree. I live about an hour from Manhattan (from the Holland, and then another hour to get through lololol), but I'm fifteen minutes from a reservoir that you can hike and boat, fifteen minutes from farms. My town is walkable, and I can walk to a hospital, grocery store, and library in, you guessed it, fifteen minutes. I'm an hour and change from the shore, about the same from the Poconos. I like having access to all the places, but I like to live in suburbia.
