 Because I am not ignorant. I might be arrogant, but I am not ignorant. You see, in Europe, we can do both sometimes. Or should I've asked the question in my native language and refuse to speak English? What is this.... aren't you my brown friend? Why do you even shake hands with these pale ghosts? English. You know the language. You know what they did to India? Why do YOU speak English? You have all the reasons to hate pale ghosts.In da butt.

 I live in a building with 112 Units, and there are a LOT of families, so many that they are looking for space to put a playroom for all the damned rugrats. Maybe you should move to a dynamic lively city and not that dump you live in.Originally posted by DanS
 
 
 It's a pretty simple standard. Most people can go live in a normal US suburb and enjoy a very high standard of living. It's not the same in a city. I live in the city and none of those nice scenes that this guy pictures include families -- there's not a single family in my ~ 150 unit condo building.
 
 
 Americans live in suburbs because gas is cheap in the US and banks are willing to loan cheap money for new housing developments.Look, Americans have a great deal of choice about where they will live and have few qualms about moving. They live in suburbs for what they believe to be good reasons.If you don't like reality, change it! me

 Well just be informed that if you are going to criticize a TED talker, you'll be called fat and stupid.

 If I'm called either fat OR stupid, misinformed yet again. Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

 In the US, we have a tendency to tear down a rebuild our buildings every fifty years or so. This video is pretty spot about the importance of creating civic environments that people actually enjoy being around. No one wants to be near a boxy, ugly superstores like Wal-Mart or K-Mart with a massive 6 lane round dividing them.
 
 I think our rampant consumerism since the end of World War II has contributed to this greatly and a declining sense of style and fashion. Just look at what was built and the way people dressed back then. Yet look how people dress today, tacky t-shirts, jeans worn even in the work place, sweat-pants, etc.

 I know, Pekka. That wasn't directed at you in any way.
 
 Riesstiu, I don't think KMart comes under the historic umbrella. Maybe in 100 years. Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

 Very few have chosen to live in your circumstance. Can you tell me why so many people choose to move from your fair city?Originally posted by GePap

 You and this guy must get together to coordinate your asshatery. The differential in prices per square foot residential would be only fractionally impacted by high gasoline prices. Seriously, is basic math beyond you?Americans live in suburbs because gas is cheap in the US and banks are willing to loan cheap money for new housing developments.Last edited by DanS; January 13, 2008, 15:13.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
