My old city was getting eaten up by the hospital. It just kept buying real estate and expanding. It became depressing because an entire section of the city became a parking lot and hospital with nothing else around except more hospitals buildings. We’re not even that big of a city so the size of the hospital was ridiculous and the bulldozing of the surrounding area pointless.

This is exactly it.

You can't move to Manhattan and ask it to freeze in time just the way you found it.

If you want to live somewhere with no changes go buy a big plot of land in the middle of nowhere.

Cities change by definition. That's what makes them cities.
