Yup, and I appreciate that. That's your idea. My idea of getting more for my $$$ is crossing the county line. The only people that have issue with that are city/Allegheny County folk. Nobody else could care less.

Nothing that one can't live without, however.

You fail to realize that a lot of city residents could live in the 'burbs if they wanted to. However, there is nothing in the burbs though that I can't live without.

Nope, never failed to realize that. In the 'burbs we don't care where you live, but you city folk sure dislike or McMansions.

Well, that's another huge assumption on your part. Why would I "fail to realize" that exurbanites could move to the city? That's ridiculous. I KNOW there is no accounting for personal taste. I don't assume the exurbanite can't make his own choice. You're getting that one from somewhere else. Perhaps your sense of insecurity requires a straw man?

Because we resent subsidizing your wasteful, auto-centric lifestyle.

You repeatedly boast about your perceived ability to essentially game the system as it's currently configured. Personally I don't dislike McMansions per se, I dislike the historic set of planning rules and priorities that made their proliferation economically advantageous.

Your resentment is your problem.

As to your complaint of McMansions becoming economically advantageous, obviously across the county line, they've been built in the surrounding areas of the 'burgh long before they ever became prevelant in Cranberry. Your issues are a tax thing. If you were unbiased you'd admit that getting more for your $$$ is obvious.

Your distaste for "exurbs" and hatred towards Cranberry, going so far as to try to say it's not part of Pittsburgh because it's across the county line defines insecurity.

Surprise, surprise... ANOTHER assumption. I defy you to show me anywhere I have engaged in "hatred" toward Cranberry. Suffice it to say that I have good reason to be glad that Cranberry exists. You have no idea how ridiculous your post is because once again you are misled by your assumptions. But this particular one goes way beyond your other posts on the scale of ignorance.

Really it amounts to just another example of your deep need to prove yourself and your choices worthy by disparaging and misrepresenting the opinions of others.
