    Places that are surprisingly similar to this do exist and unsurprisingly are very fucking nice places to live, and by dint of being high density it’s generally not that outlandish to actually be able to live there.

    Look for areas around public transport lines, with a reputation for being largely inhabited by immigrants and poor people, those places at least in sweden tend to be really fucking nice. They get a bad reputation because of racism/classism, but that’s kind of good because it means there’s little competition for the housing and it’s going to be way cheaper than it would otherwise, and having lots of immigrant inhabitants mean there’ll be more neat businesses available to you.

      There are plenty of high density places (usually very expensive in the US) but not surrounded by natural beauty like this. Maybe in Europe you have this I haven’t explored extensively but in the Americas it’s basically nonexistent.

      Can you give an example of such a place? The closest that I can think of is Vancouver but it’s one of the most expensive places to live on Earth. And it’s really only some nice parks, not fully surrounded by nature like in this image.
