Why do suburban people get so defensive whenever this topic is brought up? There is nobody trying to tell any body that they have to live in a crowded urban environment. It's a free country and you can live anywhere you can afford to live. That will never change. So get over it!
The question is, how can we get rid of the senseless ugly sprawl, while preserving the spaciousness and tranquility that people hope to find in the suburbs? Or, how can the suburbs be made nicer than they already are?
