    If you want to live in high density housing and extremely walkable areas, why not move to those areas rather than trying to force your desires on a neighborhood that entirely disagrees with your preferences?

    I live in the suburbs because I like low density housing. Why do you feel entitled to force your preference on me?

      The suburban model is not viable. This is a ponzi scheme where the county need to always build new houses that will generate new taxes to maintain the current infrastructure but won’t be enough to cover the new infrastructure when the time comes to service it.

      Mixed density buildings is the solution to this Ponzi scheme. Denser population will generate more tax on the same existing infrastructure and be sustainable.

      Your lifestyle is subsidized by urbanites.

      I moved here because this is what exists lol. I didn’t design this place. It’s what’s here.

      I’m obviously not forcing my opinion on anyone because we live in a democracy. I’m allowed to have a different opinion from my neighbors. I hope you realize that. Maybe ask why you’re allowed to force your preferences on ME even though I have actual data and evidence that it’s nicer on my side of things and you’ll be happier here even though you’ve been taught to believe otherwise.

      Let me introduce you to some great resources on just how modern and terrible an anomaly American suburbs are. Really, they’re terrible. Terrible for your health, terrible for the environment, terrible for society and the economy. Ugly, soulless, fragile, useless Ponzi scheme that needs to end.
