Would you want to live in this neighborhood?

I wouldn't want to live anywhere in North Dakota

Yeah, or any of the states that border North Dakota, or any of the states that border states that border North Dakota.

    I wouldn't want to live anywhere where the houses do not share side-walls, so no.

Dude.  Most of America doesn't live in houses like San Francisco with that silly housing design, you're going to end up in a place someday where the houses don't share walls or where you live in an apartment that doesn't share walls with the next apartment building over.

     If I succeed in achieving my career goal, there will be no need to live elsewhere.

Living in new places & taking yourself out of your comfort zone = good for the soul.

So you are a fan of banning minarets and ObamaCare? (As ObamaCare is very similar to the Swiss Health Care System)

Switzerland has a good number of internal microcosms from wealthy quasi-latte liberal areas in the Vaud and Geneva, to redneck ass-backwards Schwyz and the original cantons, wealthy libertarian areas in Zurich, working-class socialist strongholds in the Jura and Neuchatel. It would be incredibly stupid to say that Switzerland as an entire nation favours a ban on minarets or supports their healthcare system.

That's absurd.  That's like claiming that Switzerland speaks more than one language!

Putting aside where it is (no thank you), arborists seems rather thin on the ground on the block depicted. I have trouble even seeing small trees, assuming the neighborhood were just built. It does look truly hideous from an aesthetic standpoint.

I hadn't caught that, but yeah, that's a big deal.  You'd expect North Dakota to be able to beat Alphabet City, not the nicest of areas, in trees, but that neighborhood completely fails.

[too lazy to figure out the URL for street view, just drag the little yellow guy over there somewhere near where I live, that's the closest intersection]


I grew up in a forest, so I'm a little, um, desensitized to trees.  I view deer as nothing more than big rabbits that will destroy anything you try to grow without a 10ft fence and completely f*(# up your car if you hit a big buck.   But SOME trees are pretty important to aesthetics.

How do you know until you try?
