Saying "yes" would also mean living in the time and world. Do I honestly want it?
There's many very clear and subtle implications from the lore and game itself in what state the world is. Overcrowding, twisted power shift (to corporations), species being extinct. There's positive aspects like body modification, technological advancement, etc. Question is, if it outweighs the cons.
Even Night City itself (let's ignore the larger world for a moment) is somewhat horrible, but I guess that's the point of the cyberpunk genre. The poor are the most poor, the rich the most rich. I mean the gap is the biggest than ever. Police is understaffed and unresponsive. Corps can push you around, psychos or gangers screw you over.
The more I saw the world, the happier I was to live in this time. As a certain Net Watch agent watching a certain movie type says: Times were simpler back then. For me, that simpler "better" time is 2020 (in reality, I mean). You have relative order in comparable bigger cities. Well, okay, some are pretty dangerous in specific parts or in general, but I speak about the average big western (European) city at least. You usually don't have horrible gang hotspot all over the city or cyberpsychos running amok. You can usually call police and they respond in reasonable time depending on the type of emergency, and they do a relative nice job at coverage and being everywhere instead of plain out pulling out of areas altogether or being in corporate pockets, on average.
Speaking of corporations, we live in a time where corporations do have power and international influence. They like to dodge taxes and some do shady things, but nowhere close to the daily bread and butter of the cyberpunk world. Here, corporations can and often will be put in their place, ironically saw news today where Mark Zuckerberg's company might face hefty fines or something similar and losses due to authorities investigating potential crimes there. Unthinkable in the world of Cyberpunk, relatively at least. It's just not the environment.
Oh yeah, the environment, don't get me started.
Long story short: It's fun to explore this possible future from the safety of my home and time I live in, but I wouldn't necessarily want to live in the city and time for real - unless I was well off perhaps.
