One time, I ventured far far away on the edge of metro Seattle. There was this 8 lane high way, on one side was a casino and the other was a giant giant parking lot, and way in the distance was Wal-Mart. There were Republicans camping in the parking lot. I needed some food so I went in (first and last time in a Wal-Mart). There was dog poop on the floor.

NASCAR also wants the state to give them 200 million dollars to build a track there.

Yep, cities are sooooo much better.

More crime.

Higher taxes.

More pollution.

More corruption.

The list goes on and on.


Lots of that "pollution" comes from suburbanites driving 4 hours every day just so they can have their precious front yard, but the only time they get to use it is when they are doing yard work.

Corruption? You'll have to go a little bit into detail on that one.

Higher taxes? I don't know anything about that so I won't say much, but considering all the expenses you save not taking care of a large house, yard, a car, gas, insurance, etc, it could very well be cheaper!

Crime, that depends on the city. And which neighborhood you're in, since some are as safe as anything in the suburbs and others, well, aren't. But you know, if you live in a high rise apartment building, the chances of your home being broken into are almost 0, but in the suburbs its much higher. I also read once that you have a better chance dying in a car related accident in the suburbs than you do being "murdered" in the city.
