[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to be controversial. I do love urban walkable cities and love the midsize cities of Europe, places like Munich for example, for offering a great balance of walkability without feeing too big (looking at NYC) or expensive (looking at you London).

I currently live in a nice "inner" suburb that has some walkability and handsome housing stock. One thinks win-win, right?

But there's another aspect to newer American suburbia that I've come to appreciate in new years. And that is how much easier life does seem to be out there. Schools are good and uncomplicated (note the uncomplicated part). Local stores and supermarkets and drugstores are filled with uncomplicated patrons (note the uncomplicated part). Traffic is calmer and uncomplicated (note the uncomplicated part).

There are a lot fewer hassles and less in your face stress in outer/newer suburbia. Life is quieter - and calmer. So I'm not surprised by why so many affluent families buy in newer suburbia. [/quote]
