There's a reason why many of these places are called "bedroom communities" or "commuter towns." They exist solely to house the people working in nearest city, and provide a 'safe' place to raise their children. They have no other sustainable reason to exist.
- wmccullough 9y agoWhat do you think a good alternative is? Cities are too dense to house all the people.
- SirZimzim 9y agoThe argument is generally that American cities are not dense enough. Build taller, build better public transport, the rest of the world has been doing this for a long time. Our best example is NYC which has done a poor job keeping up with modern developments. There is a fundamental national issue with how things are done in the US that will bite us in the ass as we get even less competitive over the years.
