My taking on this is if they force us all to move into apartments and crowd us in, isn't that telling us where to live and how to live, isn't that a form of communism?
I'll tell you why I love the suburbs.
A) I hate neighbours, thats why I am moving to an acreage eventually, living in the suburbs minimizes my chance of running into stupid people often..
B) I don't need to pay 400 dollars in condo fees to have someone shovel the walkway out front once every two weeks in the winter, I also don't need to pay for bozo the clown in the complex that likes to keep his window open when its -40 and than crank the heat while he pigs out on chips and sits there in shorts without a shirt on.
C) I got a decent backyard, and its fenced off. I can allow my kid to play in the backyard keep it locked and not worry about them as much. I can still get my stuff done around the house. If I am in a condo I have to go to the park with them, I can't say that I always have the time.
D) I like living in a place thats 2000 square feet and not 800 square feet to raise my children. Sometimes I need my own space.
E) I hate big crowds
F) I like working outside in the summer on the week-end in my yard. I like growing fresh ORGANIC veggies instead of buying crap in the stores in the summer.
G) I work downtown and I can tell you that by the end of the day I am ready to get home and get out downtown. I couldn't imagine working there and living there, I'd feel like I am trapped.
I can go on but I won't I will just get too angry.
