That is wonderful and I am sure a great place but how does that address my point - you alluded that people in the city can not afford suburban living which is absurd - true on some accounts and not true on others and some people move one direction and some move another
lol, where did I say that?? Its been more than 12 hours since I had a drink so I can't be drunk.
...That still doesn't mean anything. If they're single and they have kids, that's even worse.
We too are done
This doesn't even include the students that usually live in areas like that and the fact that 31k is an average meaning many people make more then that. Stop with the elitist stereotypes.
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.

It's not a stereotype. You can't argue with a fact haha. The area may have a decent percentage of students living in the area, but there are still more people living below the poverty line than students.
^^ to your above post HTown - the bolded is where...
I knew I wasn't drunk. I am not saying that the NE doesn't have suburbs. I am saying that y'all who can't afford a nice house in the burbs, get all cranky and jealous and turn it into a bad thing.
step away from the bottle Paul. You've got work 2morrow
again, atleast we didn't swallow up the entire county. We would be knocking on LA's door if we did. There is over 4M people living in Harris County
Harris county is 1750 sq miles, the size of the Philly Urbanized area with 5.4 million people. LA is 470 sq miles with 3.8 million people. I don't even understand the relevance of your point. NYC covers 5 counties technically...

HTown I gave up my 2 acres and 4,500 sq ft house in the burbs to move back into the city. I was miserable there (maybe on CD too)
And also is my exact point on the city just as people choose the burbs there are also people that choose the city, not because they cant afford but because they choose to, and many times these neighborhoods cost more not less, your statement and rebuttal is grossly inaccurate and that is and was my original point.
