Some people love living in dense housing areas in a city. Others love living with more space in the suburbs or even rural areas. Often members of each group have a difficult time understanding why the other group has the preferences they do. I've lived in a high-rise in a city and on acres in a rural area. I vastly prefer the latter. Right now, I live on about 1/5 acre in the edge of a proper city, which is a pretty good compromise to get the kids what will benefit them and still have some space and not have neighbors right up my ass every time I turn around.
