> The fear-based culture of the suburbs existed since I was born Well my anecdote is the opposite. I once lived in a high-rise, and in that environment never met or knew anyone. Everyone fast-walks from the elevator to their door and go in. There are no common spaces so there's zero opportunity to meet anyone. Also, because the conditions are so tight everyone is hypersensitive about any sound through the walls etc so they're constantly complaining about everyone else. Here in the suburbs, everyone spends time outside so I know all my neighbors, it's much more social and connected.
