Sometimes I wonder what people think about post-apocalyptic areas and why they find them so romantic.
Is it the famine that no-doubt befell the area before it died out? The slow, wretched suffering before it passed into a rotting, bubbling grave before the silence?
Maybe it's the comforting thought that it didn't happen to them.
Possibility: Not feeling chained by rules and bureaucracy. "You can't just build a shed in your yard, you have to apply for a permit"
Hello, mutant wastelander here.
I enjoy the graves of long deceased civilizations because what survives in the cracks is just so very interesting. I don't need to be nostalgic, the things that live there now are my calling!
I think there's a broad appeal to seeing the ruins of a fallen civilization. Rummaging around for remnants of what once was and so on.
