Rich and successful people are pushing others out of the city

I live in the suburbs. 5 kilometers from downtown Copenhagen.

I went to an electronic, very hip jazz concert downtown Copenhagen, and I have never seen so many rich and successful people gathered in such a small area. Spending fortunes on the newest natural wine or exotic coctails.

I felt like I was visiting another planet.

I don’t know if it’s any problem, I like the suburbs, it’s very peaceful here.

Maybe we have to accept downtown/innercity is a ghetto for the rich and successful.

We’re noticing that as people move out of our condos, those who obviously have better jobs are moving in to replace. It has lowered the number of times the police have been here for domestic abuse incidents as the problem families are replaced.

I’ve never been a city person. Even if I had the money I wouldn’t live in one. I prefer the suburbs.

Yes. Me too. I come from the countryside.

When I was young I lived in the inner city, but it became to stressful and noisy.

I cannot go back to the countryside, I don’t fit in there. The suburbs are my place.

I’ll never live in a city again. I don’t fit in anywhere, but I prefer the country.

I grew up a little in the countryside. My grandma lived in the country and my aunt had a farm down the street and around the corner from her. I spent a lot of time at both places as a kid.

The countryside is too quiet and boring, the city is all hustle and bustle. The suburbs is kind of like a nice compromise between the two.

I love the countryside, I visit it regularly, and I come from the country, i miss it, but I would be lonely there because I don’t know anybody living there.

The people I know out here I try to stay away from lol

I’m getting comfortable being alone though it would be nice to find some one, it’s not really my focus right now.

I’m returning to the suburbs next week. I’ll be missing the rye fields and the fauna.

Do you have a bike? You could explore the countryside by bike, you live in a good area for that.

I’m scared of bikes, but I’m slowly gaining back the motivation to go birdwatching and hiking.

I use to love exploring the countryside. There was a hill near my grandmas house and at the bottom was a small creek that opened into a small pond, my brother and I spent all kinds of time playing in the creek and mud. Then there was big tree in the middle of a huge corn field so we walked out to it and climbed it. Good memories.

You should visit “Lejre” it’s one of the most scenic places in “Sjælland” or even Denmark and it’s close to you. Good spot for birdwatching too.

if i was super rich i would live where i used to live in SA out in the country.

im not a city chick.

I watched desperate house wives of beverly hills and i would hate to live like they do.
would like all the money but would hate all the parties and socialising and bi tchiness, bullying , hierarchy they seem to have amoung them, and wearing high heels and make up etc every day.

one girl had a glam squad . a group of people doing her styling, hair, makeup and clothes so she looked attractive.

one girl spent $50 000 on a 3 year olds birthday party.

one girl said pretty much that she would only socialise with rich people.

i guess thats a area where you have to be rich to afford to live there.

its like another world that they have so much money.

one of them at least did dog rescue so that was good.

i like to wear no make up, ugg boots and trackies most days of the week winter time to just be warm and comfortable.

sometimes i dress up. more summer time tough.

if i was super rich i would still wear those clothes and no make up majority of the week.

i couldnt be fu cked dressing up every day. taking hours to get dolled up.

there was a time i loved night clubbing in sydney but since im sober now i am not much for socialising and i dont dance sober unless its a dance lesson i agree to at gym or rock n roll.

what i loved about sydney back in the day was people strangers spoke to me and i could easily make friends or people to hang out with.

now i have no friends. as such.

a part of me is very social and loves socialising but at same time i can become uncomfortable and tense etc around people and my favourite is in sa with x and girls thats when i was happiest.

but i have beautiful moments with my boyfriend too.
he is a great lover and he is down to earth which i am attracted to so he can understand me better.
i would hate some productive rich guy who judjes me and doesnt appreciate me just as i am as my boyfriend.

city life has its charms.

drag shows, pubs, night life, clubs,

i would love to dress up once in a blue moon and have help doing so but not every day.

a lot of gossip seems to go on too.

you can get frozen out of social life if you piss off wrong people i think and have everyone ignore you.

no if i could live anywhere in the world it would be in the country with my x and dogs and since he wont take me back i would buy my own place out there.

i would rather a one story house charming cozy and cool and gothic inside than some expensive mansion.

apartments are usually not as nice to live in when you hear your neighbours and they hear you. i hate that!

my boyfriend i love, respect and appreciate.
we have not been together that long and we only meet weekends.

i live in a area i could never afford to live in if it wasnt for my family .
still i preferred living in the place that is less than 1/4 of the price than here.

i still appreciate the beauty of where i live.
its beautiful and i love it but i love country side more.

many people who work very hard cant afford to live in this area unless they share a house or apartment with other people.

my brother lived in middle of sydney a while and said it was very expensive.

maybe a reason rich people only want to hang out with other rich people might be so they dont feel they are being used?

maybe a poor person is just using them for their money…

True, but i can’t live there anymore either, im “straight” (or what is it called if you want to be political correct, i mean i am hetero) but liked the dragshows, the discos, the clubs.

Maybe it’s something about being young?
When you are young you are more social and want things to happen around you, when you’re older you appreciate other things. Tranquility, dressing comfy and stuff.

I lived out in the country for two years. It was nice and quiet save for the yelping coyotes at 1 AM.

I lived in a medium sized city of a 100,000 people and enjoyed it as there were many options for entertainment.

Now I live in a small town though it’s a tourist trap and it’s crawling with people in the summer season.

another reason rich people might not hang out with poor people is the poor person may be jealous of the rich person and hate them for it.

i even felt a touch of jealousy from my boyfriend because i have more money than him but he smokes cigarettes so thats with him.
he spends $250 fortnight on cigarettes.
he would be richer if he didnt smoke so he shouldnt put that on me. i dont smoke anymore.

the hate and jealousy is probably the main reason and then they might pretend to be nice inorder to get something from it but maybe their hate and jealousy shines through if they cant fake it.

City folk tend to have cooler haircuts & clothes

I used to stand out in a suburb, but not in a city. Because I wore unusual looks.

But not too unusual for cities. Like New haven, Connecticut, I blended right in.

I can blend in anywhere if I try I think, but my wardrobe fits that of a city more. It is one thing I’m always conscious about now.
