Behold: 1. Sprawl cities have shorter commutes [1 - compare sprawl king LA to NYC]. Even within dense places like Manhattan & EU cities, commutes take a long time. Whilst studying abroad in EU Subway Wonderland, my ~3mi subway+walk commute took 20-40mins. In Sprawl City USA, my 15mi commute took 15-20mins, with easy parking both sides. 2. This is common in dense urban cities: Parking in urban cities is a nightmare. Parking in suburban sprawl cities is a breeze. 3. Never seen the movie Pi?

>2. This is common in dense urban cities: Parking in urban cities is a nightmare. Parking in suburban sprawl cities is a breeze. It seems like you missed the point entirely of samtp's comment on this one. He wasn't comparing "taking a long time parking" to "taking a short time parking", but was comparing "taking any time parking" versus "not having to park at all". >3. Never seen the movie Pi? No. Would you care to elaborate or educate us on its relevance to the topic? I'm not trying to be HN-passive-aggressive in a "tell me so I don't have to Google it" way. I looked it up, don't quite get what you're saying, and don't have the time to watch an entire movie this very moment. EDIT: Removed my final question because you answered it elsewhere.

  2. Not sure there is a point to be had, then. Suburban places virtually always have ample parking (many claim there is too much parking!). It's not an inconvenience... 3. It's a great movie, you should see it! My point is simply that even living within NYC, you're not ensured to have social interaction. And likewise living in suburbia doesn't doom one to have little social interaction.
