      It’s great. Great Quality of Life in the entire area due to everything being close by.

      Now I am not there, but doesn’t feel that dense. just happens to be a lot of cities near by and all very well connected.

      Depends on where you life. In the Sauerland (south east of NRW) you are still pretty rural. In the ruhr area, its a while different type of animal.

      It’s still „just“ Germany. Not like the streets are flooded with people or anything. Germany is very decentralised, even NRW has lots of agricultural fields and we don’t have massive skyscrapers like the US has them.

      In short, I’ve never felt like the regions I’ve been to were particularly rich in people compared to others.

      As someone who lives in Santiago, Chile and lived in Bochum for a year, it felt incredible, I already spend 20-30mins on a subway to go to the center of my city so 40min to Düsseldorf instead of just my city center was amazing

      I’m a 20 min bike ride from two different city centers and I’m still able to see sheep out my window. It’s great.

      I live in the middle of the Ruhrpott and I love it. Everything is just a 30 minutes drive away and it never gets boring.

      Ddorf is the best. Big city feels in a small package. Close to lots of other stuff. Love the diversity and bustle.

      It’s amazing. You can easily go from one big city to another within less than an hour and the train connections are great too. There’s many amazing places to see and it never gets boring. I am originally not from here and I don’t want to miss this.

      This is the most rural place I’ve lived in probably 30 years. Outside of a few cities that don’t feel that big to me, it’s all farms.

      I think what matters is the density in the place where you live, i.e. the 2 km area around this place. Living in a dense city part of a low-density state is the same as living in a dense city of a high-density state, i.e. a state with many other cities.

      State boudaries don’t really matter. All people in Brandenburg live in a low-density state, but half of them live in the high-density metro area consisting of Berlin and its imediate sourroundings.

      Further are state-boaders more or less arbitrary. If NRW would unite with Niedersachsen, all people would live in a low-density state, but nothing relevant would really have changed.

      Its great! I grew up semi rural. Little former farming village between major cities. I had the best of both worlds really. Enough rural Dorf experience to count, but in a big city within 15 minutes.

      doesn’t feel any different. a city feels like a city feels. Only difference in NRW (the ruhr district specifically) is that there is simply a city next to a city next to a city

      It’s not even that densely populated, there are plenty of fields and forests in between patches of city.
      The big advantage is that everything is in cyclable distance for the days when the train is not running b/c of hardware, software issues or strikes.

      It’s not that bad. Just don’t drive a car on Friday afternoon in the Ruhr Area. It’s pure Chaos.

      Münsterland here, it’s great. Very green, some cool castles, way more cows that crowded places and pretty calm.

    24. carlozbrutaloz on

      kinda cool. it’s getting expensive, but not as crazy as Hamburg Berlin or Munich

      Wenn du hier die ersten Wochen einer Zombie Apokalypse überlebst, findest du hier das meiste loot.

      There are forests and fields within 20 minutes from pretty much anywhere still.
      Sure, it’s not like you could walk for days without meeting another human, but it also isn’t like a built-up sci-fi metropolis either. Since the population density has grown organically and only relatively recently, there still are farms along the edges of the cities even if the next city will spring up right behind those fields.

      I enjoy it , every big city has alot of cultural diversity when it comes to food, supermarkets, experiences. Doesn’t feel like it’s particularly crowded , except for maybe I’d you’re driving in the main city circuit , that wouldn’t be fun
