Pauline Kael posted:Oh I thought maybe you were making the controversial point that parental involvement actually matters a lot more than expenditure per capita... in the area I live, the worst schools are also the ones that spend the most per capita, and all happen to be in the urban cores of the 3 cities that make up the region. Well of course parental involvement is important, I thought that was implied when I specified Asians.

Three Olives posted:You live in a depressing wasteland. Lol that looks like a small town to me, what a wasteland   Tone mapped of my window by caberham, on Flickr Actually, I think I need to live by coastal areas. It's much easier to go to smaller islands or some quiet coast  Hiking!.jpg by caberham, on Flickr What's nice about the city is the restaurant scene. Some foods you can't really prepare at home like  Sushi at that kind of quality is really really hard to find in North America. I was not impressed with the sushi scene in San Francisco or Vancouver, LA and NYC just barely cut it. Then again, people pay $8 for a can of budweiser here because it's an "import" caberham fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Mar 19, 2015 |

Justin Tyme posted:sorry son i know you want a bigger room and more space to play without having to walk thirty minutes to the park without risking getting hit by a car in the street Crossing the street is not a hard thing. If you are 12 years old and you still can't cross the street properly, you deserve to get run over. If you are 14 and you don't know how to take a bus/metro then you are a loving moron. quote:and i know you aren't quite into the whole "theater" scene, and yes Really depends on the kid though, some love outdoorsey stuff, some don't. Some love theatre/museums/concerts, some don't. Lots of kids just want to play video games all day. There's always some mall a couple train stops away. Or if it's an actual good city, hop on a ferry/gondola for some nature stuff. quote:i know the school you go to is poo poo and run-down, but me and your mother decided that living in this human being apartment with too-high rent Sucks to be tied down to a mortgage payment and large down payment. Yeah, houses will always be the best investment and always go up in value forever  quote:trust me, 8 year old adventurous boy, you don't want to live in a *shudders* SUBURB, there aren't ANY LGBT actors guilds and imported guatemalan pastry shops there! could you even imagine growing up without those experiences? Actually we can go to a suburb and look at how different people's lives can be. The buses only run once an hour and take forever, there are probably no trains. So you better be a good boy or else your parents won't drop you off where ever you wanted to go. Don't even think about going to places on your own, you need a car for that! You can eat at either Red Robin/Olive Garden/AppleBee's/Macdonalds. Going to a Costco is actually a tourist experience and look at the crazy amount of groceries people can buy. See how fat everyone is and how no one really goes out anywhere at night. Except to that one local movie theatre. Oh and everyone has a fireplace! Isn't that quaint? Even when you can drive, remember to drive carefully at night because you probably will encounter some drunk driver

I remember back when gas was over $4 a gallon. All the suburbanites commuting to work for an hour one-way in their SUV's flipped the gently caress out. Bitching about how they can't sell their SUV and get a car because then their kids won't fit. Bitching that they can't move closer to work because they don't want their kids in the 'bad' school district. Bitching that the boss wouldn't let them telecommute from home once a week (lol), scheduling early morning project meetings to justify driving a company car home at night. If gas ever hits $5/gallon, there will be mass suicides in suburbia. Those schlubs would rather die than be seen on their non-existant public transportation.

My plan is to contribute to the housing shortage by buying a triple apartment house in the city and raising the rent so the tenants leave. Then it will be mine, all mine. This will be the trend in every medium sized city around. I get to be a greedy rear end in a top hat, and live in the city. It's the best of both worlds.

Which is a better setting for a sitcom: 1. A young bachelor moves into a condo with some sexy ladies 2. A man lives in the suburbs with his wife and has a job and kids. He's middle class so he's not Al Bundy.

Foid One posted:Ya it's tough being an adult ? It's really not. Send your kids to private school, even if it's just a lovely catholic one. Can't afford that? Don't have kids. Live beneath your means so that when commodities fluctuate you can whether the storm. Don't buy a boat. Because then you're the neighbor who bought a boat. Or a timeshare. Jesus Christ, you know how everybody knows the suburbs are a bad decision? Because the people surrounding you are a statistical honeypot of poor decision-makers trying soooo hard to manage their money responsibly.

And for those folks who live in the cities : Don't eat out all the time. Go easy on traveling. Pack your lunch. Sometimes just stay in your home, read a book or play some video games, don't need to be out all the time.

Got a decent job, the city provides what I want out it, and Austin was bullshit. I think the saying was "Dallas is so inauthentic it wraps back around into its own brand of authenticity." Watching yuppies desperately trying to play-act as millionaires and the total obsession to demolishing the past (they bulldozed an "old" (60 ish years) church to make way for more mcmansions) is weirdly invigorating. Dallas isn't a real city, but that's the whole point. Ronwayne fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Mar 20, 2015 |

Meanwhile, you will continue to live in your miniscule cell surrounded by thousands of other schlubs in their miniscule cells, all walking to their dreary dead end jobs in your office cubicle cell which is so indistinguishable from your home cell that you need to hit the same overpriced downtown bar every night to drink away the pain until you are numb enough to go back to your home cell and hopefully sleep it off in time to go back to your work cell so you can afford your home cell and to hit the bar again, all the while trying to convince yourself that "This is living" and that at least you're not tied down to a house or hobbies or long term relationships. No, you are lovingly cradled with thousands of others, and you are Free. Who needs open spaces when you have Jose to cultivate your artificial park that you and a thousand other drones can shamble through on your way to the next drink? Man, you've got it made compared to those scrubs living out in the sticks. I mean, how far would THEY have to walk to get a decent latte?  man, not even a starbucks in sight..
