[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think it’s more a function of WHERE you live than a function of how dysfunctional your family is.  People living in suburbs expect to spend a lot of time at home and have their homes set up to pretty much spend all of their time there.  People have nice kitchens and in-ground pools.  On the other hand, people living in the city expect to spend most of their lives in the city outside their homes.  Kitchens are small and set up to be used only rarely.  Living areas are small because entertaining would usually take place at a restaurant or somewhere outside the home.  
So, people in suburban and rural areas are just having an easier time with quarantine because their physical space is set up for it.  [/quote]

lol uhhhh even though the DC area is very affluent and yes, i suppose in-ground pools are more ubiquitous in wealthy SFH neighborhoods, but even in the suburbs, most people don't have huge kitchens and in-ground pools. who has that much money? i know i am poor by DCUM standards but yikes, seriously? your privilege is showing.

people living in the suburbs expect to be at home more so we have in-ground pools? like most of us don't live in bedroom communities so we can commute downtown? most of us live in communities with access to public and/or HOA pools and pay dues/membership fees to access them. it looks like we won't really have pools this summer at this rate which is a disappointment.

maybe in other parts of the country your statement is true-ish, but not here in the DC metro area, and probably not in most dense urban areas (NYC, LA, Boston, Philly, Chicago, etc. can't speak to the SE, AZ/NM, Texas, or California).

well it's time for me go drink a pitcher of margaritas and laugh about how poor i am in our [b]inflatable pool[/b], thanks for the laugh![/quote]
NP here and even inflatable pool is not an option for most city dwellers.. except maybe their bathtub  :wink: [/quote]
