I like to know how the rest of y’all are living. Get an idea of the hexbear residents. Be honest. If ya livin nice that’s no bad thing.

For me, I lived well in my hometown, but I’ve been living alone for… 4 years now. That went fast.

In those 4 years I’ve lived in an old council block where there was always piss and occasionally a shite in the elevator. I’ve lived just down the road from that council block in another area people grimace at when I tell them where I live. I think it’s actually alright, although this year I did get burgled by a crack addict. Luckily they stole a bag of ‘decoy’ laptops (broken ones I accumulate and then scrap for spare parts) and left my working one alone.

I’m moving out of there now, and into the worst place I’ll have lived yet. A gang and gun crime hub. Even people who lived there tell me the best thing about living there is the feeling you get when you move out. Again though, although it might be a bit grotty, as with most ‘bad’ places if you keep your nose clean and aren’t a numpty at night you’ll come out of it fine, I think. Time will tell.

How about y’all?

    Not great. Terrible public transportation, not walkable, barely bikeable, housing is expensive, restaurants are expensive and mostly bad. We do have some nice parks and trails. The vibe is off, even mixture of rich libs and conservatives who make no secret of hating the homeless and rich libs who pretend not to hate the homeless. We also have libertarians. The vehicles are too damned tall. Oh it’s hot
