And there's also a reason why suburban living is considered a luxury. For the past thousand years, people have chosen to live in the city You see a nice house, I see rows of identical houses with equally identical people in it. I see faceless skyscrapers, I see people packed like sardines where a 2 bedroom condo costs $1 million. The uniformity of city condos far surpasses that of the suburbs. Instead of nice green shrubbery and pine trees I see cracked concrete stained with oil and skoal spit out yesterday. Broken glass bottles on the sidewalk, some foul liquid oozes down into the sewer grate with a noxious odor. Crumpled cigarette butts line are nearly as numerous as the number of people walking over them. The streets are lined with pan-handlers and people that are too busy to give you the time of day. A walk through the city will show you soulless corporate buildings taking up so much space. Or the occasional century old abandoned building with broken windows and carelessly pulled drapes that barely attempt to hide the empty interior. And countless rows of residential skyscrapers that peer out with 1000's of identical windows. When going to sleep, you are annoyed by the number of sirens going off at 3 AM in the morning or the idiots who are shouting outside about how drunk they are. And then you wonder why most of the people who have a choice, don't choose the city.
