if you drive for a living that can wear you out. Drivng from 5a.m. to 6 p.m. 5 days in a row is tedious and super boring

During the real estate bubble, they over built the suburbs. Esp down south. They had tv shows displaying the new communities popping up every month.
More people will be wanting to live urban, not own a car or 1 if they have to, zero maintenance yard. The suburbs will be the new poverty centers with increased transportation costs, and isolation from commerce, food and entertainment due to real estate zoning laws. Only areas that will survive is the less conservative areas that allow for greater zoning variance in a given area.

In LA there are already plenty of suburbs filled with poverty.
The way SoCal is designed most of it will never be walkable like a downtown

How can a human like sitting in traffic?
My ideal situation is to take public transportation to work, then drive on my free time when I don't have to deal with traffic.

When I visited family I had in San Antonio, I couldn't believe what their "hood' was. Big houses with huge front and backyards, driveways, and garages. Me being from the city, a house with a yard, driveway, and a garage would have been considered a dream house. It was mind blowing moment.

It's probably the hate for "the cost" that come along with driving, let us not forget traffic either.

A lot of the poor have moved to the sphincter of Southern California, the Inland Empire.

Miami is like 100 years behind bigger cities in terms of transportation, 7AM-11AM going anywhere towards Downtown and 3PM-8PM going South, youre looking at 2-3 hours of traffic. Too many street lights on the regular streets too. Takes forever to go anywhere.
Theyve been working on the 826 for like 15 years already.
The Metrorail-Airport connection was a good idea though. Now if only they could make the Metrorail from Florida City to Miami Gardens, that would be amazing.

The metro is ratchet. And what's STILL the first thing a young couple does when they get some dough? Cops a crib in the burbs. Living on top of each other is wavy when you're young but as you get older you appreciate the space and break from city chaos. Lol @ suburbs dying. Y'all buy all the BS these billionaire developers spew

Billionaire developers are buying buildings and land in the dtown slums for cheap and slanging to naive kids for fortunes. From 22 to age 27 you wise up and move to the burbs with our chick. By that time you've gifted $100 racks to a developer and have nothing to show for it. And these new buildings or lofts studios are as tacky and poorly built as any McMansion subdivision

A car would always be needed. Too many places
to get under certain circumstances. The idea of city
life is kool if ur single or dont have any kids. I miss
the city sometimes, but I cant see myself giving up
so much living space to be crammed up with people
in a tight space just so I can walk to stores.

you got it chief, i guess the almost 800,000 people that use the metro daily are pretty ratchet
and the ones that are saying suburbs vs. city life are missing the point of this post...
people are always going to live in the suburbs, thats a given. its the sprawl and lack of ability to get around said suburbs, besides using a car, that is the problem.

the only type of commerce that can occur in the suburbs is either drugs or sex.
