I think it's also preference. I like being close to the city, but living in the city proper is suffocating.

- bobthepanda 7y agoAmerican cities are strange because you usually have the spiky, tall central districts and the extremely low density suburbs, but nothing in the middle. Queens is 2.3M people, but they're mostly in low-rise, <5 story apartments and houses of various sizes. Fresh Meadows, NY is hardly suffocating levels of density, and yet this kind of neighborhood is simply not available in most metropolitan areas. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7337074,-73.7813407,3a,75y,353.6h,88.01t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1siF4be35QV-SFTijRSiplDg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7337074,-73.7813407,3a,75y,3...
