[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing---there are 'city/urban' people and there are 'country/suburban' people.  There are people where the size of the house and yard trumps everything else.  Then there are people where it is the physical location of the house in relation to walkable amenities that matters and they would rather sacrifice on size and/or prefer a smaller house anyways. These people have fundamentally different views on housing. They have fundamentally different views on lifestyle as well. Neither will ever understand the other side.  It's okay.  They don't have to.  Live where you want to live.  Real estate is 'supply and demand' anyways.  What some may think is 'over-rated' is higher per square footage or low inventory because there is more demand for it.  If an area is not your cup of tea- who cares.  Guess what? You don't have to live there.[/quote]

This is funny to me because I moved from my too small house in upper NW to one of those suburbs that city people won't go near.  When we moved, our neighbors in DC acted like we were totally crazy to leave one of hte best elementary schools in (the worst public school system in the country) DC and to give up the whole upper NW lifestyle. SOme people out here are more of what I would term racist and make dumb comments to my kids like "don't get shot" when we go visit friends in DC.  So, clearly nobody is going to win this fight, but it is funny to watch people on this message board continue to go at it.  [/quote]
