Quote of the Day
My own experience is that, apart from the special habitat of intellectuals like Oxford or Cambridge, a city of a million is required to give me, say, the twenty or thirty congenial friends I require.
—Philip Sargant Florence, quoted by Jane Jacobs in The Death and Life of Great American Cities
I understand this attitude, though I feel I personally could probably get by with just a couple hundred thousand.
(That said, I have lived forty years in Chicagoland, home of 9.5 million souls, so I haven’t ever had to test this.)
