[quote=Anonymous]There's a thread over in the family relationship forum that sums up the suburbs for me...

Poster is having a lot of angst because his aging parents live 45 minutes away and struggle with things like taking the trash out and feel compelled to mulch their large yard. Nobody will help them and adult child feels obligated to tear himself away from his own life to try and help this unsustainable situation.

In the city I take my older neighbors trash out for them, I mow their lawn and I talk to them hours each week—I notice and care when they're having a tough time. I love it.

I know, people are going to bombard in response that this is a troll or the reason they love living in Loudon is so they don't have to take care of other people, or Communists trying to urbanize us or whatever, and change the subject to demands that DC put in more highways to ease their commute... but sorry, I think this is a better life.[/quote]
