> I never implied i cared really, don't be so defensive.
The fact that you expended so many keystrokes explaining why you think city living is better implies that you do care. And you were the one being defensive. I never said one word trying to convince you my preference is better.
> My point, is that city living is objectively better, which is why i don't understand why people prefer to live in the burbs.
No offense, but I don't think you're using the word "objectively" correctly. You seem to put a lot of stock in your perception that it's less expensive to live in the city. But money is a very subjective value. I make enough money that I don't have to ride on smelly buses, so I choose not to. You may view it differently, and that's cool. Perhaps you see it as a personal virtue, or find it gratifying for other reasons. Whatever. And I like being able to start my car in my heated garage in the winter, rather than dig it out of a snow bank parked on the street a block from my house, like some of my urban friends do. It's all very subjective.
