just plain wrong
some people like to share resources, are comfortable (no, happy!) living in compact spaces, and like the density of intellect, commerce, transportation and entertainment that a city offers; and can live free of crime in attractive settings in walking distance of almost everything they need. New York or San Francisco meet the criteria, but even in a place like Minneapolis, you could live in a lovely home in view of a lake or the Mississippi, walk or take affordable transportation to get groceries, go to Target, go to a major league baseball game, basketball game, football or hockey game, see a world-class play, go to a movie, ride your bike to work downtown, or take a train to the airport to get out of town, all with less than a half hour commute. If you decided to drive away somewhere, two major US highways cross the city, as do many state roads.
