As is usually the case... the computer has a far different idea of what we would consider a good starting position

No-one forced you to build there, you should have scouted around abit more to find some fodder.

FFS you founded your city even before moving your scout, you deserved that land I say.

Actually with some judicous forest choping you can get a few workers and settlers out quickly. Or alternatively, you look to be in very good position to build some early wonders.

I'm also counting 4 grassland river tiles [three covered with forest], so the growth rate of this city can be quickly improved
