      Suburbs are the happy medium: neither overcrowded nor isolated, not denuded of greenery or yards, ideally with a few key places in walking distance.https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1130141006215745537 …

      How can anyone actually prefer living in a crowded city over a more rural area with open space, green grass, trees, privacy, and quiet? I mean do you really need to have 98 stores within walking distance? Is proximity to retail really the most important thing? I don’t get it.

      After 22 years working in Manhattan, I can't imagine how anyone could live here. It would feel like sleeping in your business suit. There has to be a quieter place to go home to, and not be 'on' all day.

      By contrast, I get what appeals to people about rural life, but it's really hard to adjust to it if you reach adulthood living in cities and/or suburbs. There's too much convenience to give up, & the isolation can be unnerving.

          I feel restless in cities and like I need to fortress myself in in the country. It's a strange sensation. Long live the 'burbs.

          Does The Woodlands even count as a ‘burb anymore?

          Remove cars from cities and you can have all the green space and convenience that you seek.

          But I thought Trump was making rural areas great again? Filling that void?

          Or, the isolation can be freeing. Depends on the individual.

          I think it depends more if you grew up with it. My point is that the rural life is a hard one to adjust to if you didn't. Lots of people love it.

          What you describe is why liberals tend to be in big cities and conservatives tend to be in rural areas. i.e. the closer you are to people, the more you want to control what they can/can't do. The further away you are from people, the more you want other people to leave you alone.

          I've heard many people say things along the lines of this regarding being unnerved by the isolation of rural settings, so there must be something to it, but as someone who grew up in rural Iowa I'll never understand it. What about it bothers people?
