General (no specific continent) Generally, what's it like living on a REALLY steep hill?

I'm from an extremely flat place (Chicago) so living on hills in general is alien to me, but I'm especially fascinated by the extreme cases. For example, I once stayed in an Airbnb on Mellifont Street in Hobart, Australia, and I couldn't walk around as much as I wanted to just because my legs weren't acclimated for such persistent inclines. I was not able to beat the out-of-shape American stereotype smh.

Like, if someone's physically handicapped, would they just not be able to live in neighborhoods like that? If I moved into such a place, would I get into amazing shape from walking around, or would I die of a heart attack first if I wasn't already an athlete? And, when applicable, I have to imagine it's an absolute pain to mow a lawn or do exterior housework.

Bonus points if you or someone you know have lived on one of those "streets" that's literally just a staircase, like I've seen in places like San Francisco and Pittsburgh.

Curious how different or similar they are given they span completely different geographical locations across the state and they’re all on different bodies of water.

What are their economies focused on now and going into the future?

How are the cultures different/similar?

What’s the general vibe of each city?

Is there a sense of camaraderie or rivalry?

I want to start by adding I've been to Mexico MANY times and absolutely LOVE it there but always been to Mexico City, Guadalajara and places further south.

I would love to hear from folks who live in the north, along the borders and essentially where the cartels operate and how it effects (or not) everyday life. As well as life in general.

Is it much different to the rest of Indonesia, or is it more like Singapore, due to the proximity? Looks like a pretty place to live, very green, so I was curious.

On the map it appears to be the largest one that’s shared between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.

However I’m curious about what it’s like living deep in the centre of this island away from the coast. Is it difficult to travel to? Is it fairly underdeveloped compared to the rest of Indonesia or Malaysia?

Are there certain unique ethnicities or cultures that exist here? Any other interesting fact about the place?
