[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be glad to live in a 2BR + Den home in a 12 story building if it's got easy access to:
a place to grill and eat outdoors
a place to keep bicycles and kayaks and canoes where they won't be stolen
a place for my kids to run and play with sticks and dirt
a place for my kids to climb and swing and play with other
kids
(these have to be free from harrassment by addicted and unpoliced homeless and distant from their uninspected 'homes' and latrines.) 
a place to grow corn and pumpkins and peppers and tomatoes
a place to build stuff like boats and furniture and gadgets
a place to ride bikes in the woods
schools that focus on empowering learners and meeting each student's needs rather than "narrowing the gap", which necessarily de-emphasizing supporting those at the top of the gap.

All of this leads to the suburbs. Far suburbs, really. [/quote]

it's because the apartment buildings built here are built for single people or DINKs.  I have relatives in Europe living in great apartment buildings in close-in suburbs geared towards families--3 bedrooms, large balcony, separate storage space in garage, garage parking, playground and tennis courts right outside, close to a park. Honestly, I would have preferred that type of living situation where I don't have to take care of a yard or anything, but have the space and amenities for  a young family.[/quote]
