INTROSPECTION - in a sick society, city breaks are just bits of pseudo-freedom for slaves
Holidays for ignorants are just occasions to conduct even more self-destruction. Just because it feels relaxing, and it numbs them from societal expectations it makes them feel free. So now their self destructive behaviours and karma can freely wreak havoc in these people's life. Causing misery. And never forget, misery loves company. :)
"People without structure are easily molded into anything." - Miyumi Kurokami
Only superficial people will find pleasure in something as fleeting as 2 or 3 days of "freedom". But for such people, "freedom" is a danger, because they don't take responsibilities in their life. So they need others to guide them. The idea of freedom will scare them, because there will be nobody else to give them order and tell them how and when to do things.
