People Who Live In Suburbs: Classy, Icky, or Dudes?

you'll have the whole rest of the country to chill out in, with the other racists

im not going to force anyone to relocate to new hampshire--basically we will all die if we dont tho. i mean, in the long term.

First the death camps, now forced relocation into Hipster City USA.

See this kind of liberal tinkering with other people's lives is why real Americans are angry. Stay away from our lovingly tended lawns and our god. You can have your soccer games and your iphones.

new hampshire's new state motto
xp

pretty sure we are all going to die in the long term regardless of where we live

unless of course you are a super-careful undead monster

well i meant "the human race"

stop living free or we all die

that would be good for the environment!

y'all read jg ballard "billenium"? freaky shit

Why do hipsters get bitter and cling to their soccer games and iphones?

Great idea to move all Americans to one place where a single natural disaster or catastrophe could kill all of us, let's get on that as soon as possible. Also, visits to our new, spacious "green belt" will be achieved by gyrocopter or somesuch because there won't be any roads or anything but yeah.

mr. pancakes, are you seriously trying to form an argument against "everyone in america should move to new hampshire"?

Natural disaster-prone New Hampshire.

why don't we set up a colony on the moon? not like there's anecosystem we'd be ruining there, or any people we'd be displacing. except for the moonmen, but they don't count as people.

(plus i hear their meat's quite good)

the moon was towed here by aliens, we have no claim to it

one thing to think about--no natural disasters ever happen in new hampshire

that's because they're hording the alien weather-defense technology.

mr. pancakes, are you seriously trying to form an argument against "everyone in america should move to new hampshire"?

What do you think? The libertarians couldn't even manage to pull that one off, I don't think ILX has much of a chance.

ilx is not everyone in america fwiw

that's a lie. there are only 24 people in the united states.

all of them are ilxors the rest are...moonfolk

Dudes

Specimen 1: Sarah Palin

No, I meant ILX couldn't convince everyone t . . . oh, nevermind.

Guys I really fear for this megalopolis hellhole some of you seem to really want.

don't worry dude, already stocking up on gyrocopters

What could possibly go wrong with this massive city?

brooklyn is really not that bad yall

I live in a city where the pop. density approaches 40,000 per square mile, suck it

lolol actually I live in the party of the city where the density is 111,000 per square mile

is it a dreamlike paradise

I levitate to work

omg

brooklyn is really not that bad yall

It will be when all the rural yokels move in!

no, then it will be brooklyn

suburbs are only cheaper if your free time is best spent driving home and to work

(completely bullshitting because people definitely live and work in suburbs too, but I'm generalizing)

NO GENERALIZING ITT

THERE CAN BE NO IN-BETWEEN

barenaked ladies oaks vs daft punk city

Well, put that way, there is no way Daft Punk's city could be anything less than completely awesome.

That last picture looks like a city from F-Zero.

I cannot believe this is "primeval" or inherent to humanity. A lot of people throughout history have lived in far closer-knit communities with scads less privacy than we moderns (particularly Americans?) consider normal.

you're assuming 1/2 the people in those far closer-knit communities didn't wanna get the fuck away from the other 1/2.

Another point I wanted to make about living in more walkable cities: the weather in a lot of places in the USA is really shitty. Living right along the West Coast is great, and since I've spent all of 2 weeks of my life north of Pittsburgh I can't really speak for the Northeast, but pretty much everywhere else is either a swampy hellhole in the summer (which lasts for like six months) or insanely cold in the winter (which lasts for like six months) or both (i.e. the Midwest + Great Plains). Like: San Antonio, Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans in July are really shitty places to be, spending 20+ minutes walking to/fro the grocery store, spending time waiting for the bus/train (although I guess you can put AC in train stations). Those places are shitty in June and September too, and not that great in May. So I dunno: living here in Paris where a hot day is 30C, it makes walkability no big deal. Whereas when I go back to the USA and it's fucking 95F+ all summer, and around 100F a goodly part of July-Sept. with heat advisories from the NWS every day, I just want to get in my car in my garage, crank the AC, drive, then run into the store or whatever & run out again. Basically, the climate of wide stretches of the USA sucks for walkability. And I guess you can just sneer & say "don't live there" but there are jobs in those places & I doubt the US economy has enough jobs for everyone to move to e.g. Portland or whatever.

the climate here sucks during the summer too, they've solved the problem by air conditioning the entire city

when I lived in FLA I dreamed of someone building a huge dome over the place which could be air conditioned.

I've been recommending they do it to Manhattan for years.
