>Would you live in a space colony if they were real?
Such megastructure imply a much higher technological level.
Of course I'm in!
Something people ignore because barely any SF does it, is that rotating colonies can be linked together in grids.
So you can easily take the vacuum-train to the 1G comfy-summer colony, to the 0.8G extreme-snowsport colony, pass by the 0.3G jetpack-freefly-colony, spend time at the 1.2G fitness-colony and go back to your 1G cyberpunk-metropolis.

>On the other hand, probably super restrictive with lots of rules for the safety of the colony.
A city where the police is authorized to kill dangerous retards? Worth following regular decompression drills.
>Unable to become a hermit.
Wonder why anon would say that, dystopic "forced socialization" can just mean you can be a hermit as long as you stay polite and professional when out of your VR-feeding-tank.

>People probably die a lot because the solar radiation, so that would make love sucks in general.
Ah yes, better live in nature under the light of an gigantic uncontrolled fusion nuclear reactor only protected by a weak electromagnetic field and the atmosphere.
Much better than living in a 100% custom-made paradise as shielded as you want, where you can even control gravity.

>Also considering that most people go in heavy debt to be relocated, the life there must be pretty demoralizing.
Taking UC Gundam lores, many went there willingly and Earth ecosystem was breaking down even before the colony drop.
And have you seen the interior of those "horrible demoralizing colonies?" like OP pic?
Even the metropolis-kind don't chose to extend their building all the way to the center, where you'd have lower gravity but stack more peoples.
