I hate when nature is absent. It's not just urban centers. Large suburban parking lots with no trees are a kind of hell for me.

I like urban centers even when they're relatively devoid of nature. What I don't like is when nature is pointlessly absent. A bunch of tall buildings providing living, working and recreational space efficiently to lots of people? Excellent. Asphalt to the horizon so that people can drive to Walmart and then drive to Applebee's? Soul-crushing.

In the US, compare a city like Houston, TX to a city like Portland, OR. Seems like two different planets.

You don't need to even travel. Compare downtown to Katy. Houston has plenty of nice parts with tons of nature, they just also have 50 square mile cookie cutter ranch house subdivisions.

Just one more lane and they'll have enough room for rush hour traffic.

I know it's not quite nature, but in my neighborhood in SF there's trees on every sidewalk and multiple parks within a 5 minute walk

I hate it when they remove nature and don't even provide shade or evaporative cooling
