It is just a few on here who use the density nonsense to put down cities like Houston, Phoenix and Atlanta.

90% would prefer their own backyard in those very north eastern cities if they could afford it, but since they can't they get all jealous and turn it into a bad thing.
This really makes no sense.

If they wanted all that, they could easily move down South which is dirt cheap compared to the Northeast. Also, most of the Northeast isn't super-dense. I could easily move to more suburban and rural looking NE burbs outside of the cities, which tops any of those gross sprawling cities i.e... Connecticut, Westchester, etc. in looks, amenities, demographics, proximity to the center of the world, etc.

I don't want a backyard. I lived in a 8,000 sq ft house with a sprawling back yard for the latter part of my childhood and I probably went into that back yard about 5 times total (I think it was to take out the trash...I never just went to the back yard to hang out). What is the point of a back yard ? I honestly don't understand the purpose it serves.

How does one suburb top another? Those suburbs up North are only suburbs.

I agree. I don't care to have a backyard either. the back of the house is only meant to put the trash back there and have it picked up. If I do have a backyard, it will be as small as possible just for a dog to run in. But that's it.

Only poor/fat Luddites care about backyards.

Such an outdated concept.
