Lol what an observation.

This is very cool. Thanks for sharing. I studied about nostalgia and how it wipes out all the negatives of the past, we tend to remember the good and long for it. There are benefits to both ways of living, as we were and as we are now.

I definitely miss the sense of community. And there was some madness allowed to happen. Everything is too clean and regimented now -- almost fake. And people are not as chillax and open.

But thumbs up on the hygiene and transport system.
