Some cities have bad UX

I came to Pittsburgh for grad school and somehow I'm still here. The city revolves around sports bars, hockey, football: none of it my vibe. Making friends feels like playing chess as an amateur. The demographics skew older & non “me” in ways that make connecting harder. The infrastructure doesn't help. Houston’s similar... people basically live 40 mins apart. NY has access, but every trip is a mission. Urban design is interface design. Some cities are cognitively expensive: car-dependent, confusing, spatially stressful. Bad planning is a daily tax on relationships, activities, access. Let’s talk about it.
