Yeah, places get industrialized way too fast. I used to live in the outskirts of the city and it used to be filled with nature. Now it's just filled with construction sites and noise pollution.
Rural towns are peaceful but it's frustrating when you break a piece of technology and it's hard to find parts to get it fixed. I also miss not seeing a convenience store every 5 minutes. If only we can teleport between a city and a town anytime we want XD
