The most popular way of living in the survey was suburban. People want that single home, bunch of personal space lifestyle:
> The majority of Americans today are willing to sacrifice easy access to amenities to have more space to themselves and distance from their neighbors
I 100% don't endorse the suburbs, but it is interesting how different the results of the survey were compared to what I've been reading in HN comments for years!
- ladyattis 5y agoWell they're going to have to pay more to have that single family home with a huge yard rather than having urban centers subsidizing their lifestyle choices. I know that's mean but they chose to have semi-rural density that shouldn't be serviced by centralized water treatment plants and the like.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI wonder how much of that is due to not having alternatives to compare it to other than the kind of cities that parent is talking about.
- thehappypm 5y agoHave you noticed that everyone who lives in the city in their 20s is saving up to buy a house? Not “a big apartment downtown”, a house. The dream is still a house and that implies suburbia.
