[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To a city dweller, even putting aside how far out Oakton seems, it just seems strangely claustrophobic for having "all that space." Just a few two-lane roads that must be a real blast when it snows, snaking around neighborhoods with no sidewalks, everyone kind of buried in their own world.

(I have multiple sets of close friends who've lived out there for a long time, so this is not a one-shot observation)

It seems like a real 1980s ideal of "the suburbs."

Not saying I don't understand how people can live there, because it has a lot going for it, but it is getting pretty anachronistic from an urban planning standpoint.

Oh, goodness.  There are other frames of reference besides your trendy notions of how an upscale suburb ought to embrace "urban planning" guidelines.  Oakton will still be nice when all the childless singles moving into DC have died off with no heirs and no one interested in their depressing micro-units. [/quote]

And I actually thought I was being generous--didn't say OMG HOW CAN ANYONE LIVE OUT THERE. I said it has a lot going for it--it's just not the way suburbs are built these days.
