The insanity of living in the city center.
Well having grown up in a city that was kinda dodgy at best living in the suburbs made sense.
Yet it almost seemed like there was something missing.
Now that Johannesburg is evolving into the world class city it proclaims itself to be (long way to go yet, however the signs are good.) we start finding ourselves drawn to that aspect of life that eludes the suburbs.
That sense of community, the comradeship that is formed over a coffee at a corner side bistro that you and a client or collegue walked to.
The sights and smells of life, as you walk from place to place, unfiltered by the windows and aircons within which you would be cacooned as you drove from the suburbs to the nearest mall.
It may be insanity to live in a box surrounded by millions of other people, yet it brings you closer to both your communiy and your enviroment than living in the suburbs
