I live in a city, but despite it being left wing it's not crammed like San Francisco is but it's plagued by high rent because of government interference allowing rich investors to get priority over citizens on housing.
That being said, city life lets you save a lot of time and money getting around, because the shit around you is nearby. It means you don't have to burn money on shit like a car to move around - you can bike/walk to most of the things you need.
You spend less time commuting to your job (at least for me). My job is 5 minutes away from where I live and most of the stuff I need is 5-15 minutes away.
You don't waste time commuting and sitting in traffic going to and from your suburban/rural home.
However, unless I'm being paid 6 to 7 figures, nothing would make me want to live in shitholes like NYC and San Francisco.
