I read a lot of "I live in the suburbs/far from work/far from school so I have to drive and goddamn gas costs too much" and no offense to anyone in particular, but it reminds of the people who buy a house near the airport and then complain about the noise.

Not to get off topic here or anything.
I find it funny that people who live inner-city or close to downtown bitch and complain cause there are so many people living in the suburbs. Do you really think that you could afford to live close to downtown if you eliminated all the housing in the burbs? I could imagine how much complaining there would be about how little space we would have and how expensive it would be.
I am no way saying that our urban sprawl is not out of control and needs to be looked at more closely, but come on if someone makes the decision that they want to live in the burbs (may it be for cost or whatever) then thats their decision.
Now I do agree with you saying these people have no real right to complain about costs associated with living so far away from thier work (price of gas, etc), you made the decision now live with it.
Sorry about getting off-topic
