For me, as long as where I live is super quiet I don't mind how loud and crazy Downtown is (unless it 's too crazy like China which i hate because most don't have manners from my experience) then I'm good. Like when i was there, drivers NEVER give way for pedestrians, even as you're crossing a crosswalk, they'll continue driving at a fast speed and honk at you which is so lame! And when you get on transit people push you and shove you in so if you wanna get in, you have to be aggresive too, Ugh.
Thankfully here in Canada we are a lot nicer but in a way this city is boring to me too and it's hella expensive to live here :<
