[quote=Anonymous]You guys are talking about NYC like it is only Manhattan. Parts of upper northwest have similar population density to Staten Island, Riverdale and Ditmas Park. DC is not the only city with areas where people have yards and are more than a couple blocks to the train. I grew up in Fairfield County CT and what I think makes the suburbs here so different is that it is rare to find true towns with their own character and downtowns. First, school districts and most local governance here is not at the town-level, they are at the county level. That is a huge difference! Also, most of the nice suburbs near where I grew up had much better local recreation facilities for town residents. That means not having to join a pool club because the entire town was a pool club! Of course some joined country clubs - but most did not.[/quote]
