This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In the middle of a city, which doesn't have nearby forests.

If we're talking about the US, that's no city I've ever seen except maybe the southwest

You've never seen an abandoned building in Baltimore, DC Philadelphia, Detroit, or Chicago?

Outside of the tourist zone you can find wastelands of abandoned buildings.

I'm not doubting there are abandoned buildings in cities. I'm doubting any city within the US with the exception of the southwest is more than a few miles from a forest.

Oh ok. But to refute your forest idea, while there are forests a few miles outside those cities, you can't easily walk to them. There also aren't any forests near those major cities where you wouldn't immediately be noticed by park rangers if you tried setting up a random tent. Abandoned buildings don't get daily police sweeps whereas parks do get sweeps because of lost/injured at nightfall when the parks close to everyone without a camping permit. And legal camp sites are very popular so you wouldn't be getting away from people- like those who have their playlists blasting out their phone while hiking.
