Are you saying Brooklyn, The Bronx, and the neighborhoods outside of downtown Chicago are suburbs?
If so, we may have vastly different ideas about the definition of a city.
Also, Seattle, Philly, Boston, Miami, and lots of other smaller cities are very much unlike living in the suburbs.
- marssaxman 8y agoI know nothing about the latter three cities, but most of Seattle is made up of low-density, residential-only neighborhoods, very suburban-feeling to my sensibilities - and I'm talking about the city proper, too, not including all the even-more-suburban areas surrounding.
- enobrev 8y agoI grew up in Chicago. I've lived in Brooklyn, LA, Seattle, and now I'm back in Chicago. As far as I'm concerned, there's a ton more "city" in those neighborhoods than those high-rises. Density is only one variable in an incredibly large equasion. Seattle has a good deal of its own as well. Even in neighborhoods as nice as Queen Anne. That said, I wish most other cities had it as good as Seattle. And I wish Seattle was far more diverse than it is.
