I like something in between. Denver, Portland, or Seattle nice density at the core with a layer of old school neighborhoods surrounding the core, and plenty of elbow room surrounding that. I think Seattle strikes a perfect balance of urban/suburban, old school and modern.
I like houses that aren't pseudo-apartments attached to one another, having a front and back yard,and using a car to get around instead of public transportation. I like being able to see the horizon, mountains, the sunset, instead of ugly manmade buildings, skylines, etc.
where do cities like Oakland, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis and Denver (and New Orleans) fit in?
I do like aspects of sunbelt cities but in my core I favor the hustle-bustle, slight grit and congestion of more dense cities
