[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The great majority of Americans live in the suburbs. Rich, poor, middle class.

What are you trying to imply? A lot of DC is quite suburban-like in vibes and in other cities higher density areas exist in the suburbs while lower density areas exist inside the city limits (like NYC).

I think this thread is a direct response to the "Is living in a condo considered a failure?" thread from earlier in the week

Of course it is not a failure but people like to get competitive about this stuff and likely the same people who claimed living in a condo is a failure will be quite defensive about the idea that living in the suburbs could be a failure

None of this is "a failure"[/quote]

Op here. That is exactly what it was. I didn’t expect so many passionate responses so fast. Funny how that worked out. [/quote]

No one is defensive, they are just saying your universal assumption is incorrect. You call living in a suburb is a failure. People are saying it is not because they live in suburbs and have not failed. They may have failed to live up to your socialist collective ideology. That isn't  a failure, that is a not living to your preferences. [/quote]

Not all suburbs are a disaster. Some of the Maryland ones are quite nice. The Virginia ones should be razed though.

I go weeks without even leaving my Loudoun zip code. The only traffic I ever see is when I need to go to Arlington or DC, which is thankfully rare. My 5,000sf house cost $600k in 2013 and I have a 2.5% interest rate. #winning. [/quote]

Sounds... great.

DP. Smirk all you want, what Loudoun poster describes IS great. I have the Fairfax County version of it, also work from home and rarely leave my zip code. It is wonderful.

Sounds like a nightmare. Fairfax is the literal armpit of the world. Why don't you just move to a real suburb like New Jersey?[/quote]
