A preference uninformed by alternative ways of living.
Having lived in suburbs, exurbs, dense and extremely dense cities, I find most people have no idea of the benefits and disadvantages of each place.
My impression is that the vast majority of suburbanites live in thoroughly suboptimal conditions and that their health and social lives would be massively better served by living in more dense and walkable areas.
- uberman 5y agoTry sending your children to the public schools in any dense city in America. You will then have a better understanding of the other perspective which I happen to currently view as "thoroughly suboptimal". For reference, I have lived in both SF and NYC.
