Some folks like the urban lifestyle, some folks like the suburban lifestyle, some like the rural lifestyle.

We all need to do what we want to do. Why is that wrong?

If you want to live in an urban area, go for it. If you want to live in a ranch in the country, go for it. Wasn't this country built on freedom? What has happened to this wonderful country that our last generation built for us?

OK, so let's all live in government high rise apartments like Cabrini Green in Chicago and the apartment hells that were built along the Dan Ryan on the south side of Chicago. Free rent, and terror.

I think Lakewood, Richardson, Plano and Coppell are doing better since market collapsed for outer ring suburbs.

Living urban is not socially or enviromentally responsible necessarily. The taxis or buses you ride in, the trucks that bring your IKEA furniture, your bike and deliver your gro to Whole Foods put stress on our roads too and use resources and leave carbon footprints. It's not just personal automobiles. Everyone benefits from the roads. Not everyone who likes the suburbs has McMansions. I have a smaller older house but a big yard for cookouts and other fun stuff. I have lots of places to ride my bike besides a bike trail but I have trails nearby too. There is not room for everyone to live in one area peacefully and People who live urban are just as wasteful with resources. Lets all be responsible no matter where we live.

You do know they have to drive to the dreaded suburb of Frisco to visit this place.

And as we post on Facebook when an East Dallas person checks in at IKEA, "Be sure to hit the casinos in Oklahoma while you are there" :O

Don't know about other markets but homes in my West Plano neighborhood are selling fast and closer to asking prices. Only one staying for long are ones with unreasonably high prices or flowery wall paper.
