Discussion on:

Realtors: Americans prefer smart growth communities

Perhaps people would like to live in smaller communities that have the features of smart growth community yet are connected to other similar sized communities by an integrated transport system?

Did anyone explain to these people that a smart community means smaller lawns that require less watering?

Everyones vision of suburbia is a big lawn which does not fit the smart community model.

Would understanding that change their answer?

I wouldn't ever want to live in an apartment-type building with shared hallways, elevator/stairs, laundry room, and parking garage again. I like my privacy too much. But I would consider living in a townhome so long as I had my own private garage, front entrance, and laundry room/area.

The main reason why we purchased a SFR over a townhome is because we wanted a 4th bedroom since we now have 3 kids. Nearly all the townhomes in our area have only 2 or 3 BR.

I don't believe the debate here was about the "environment", but
about how our cities need to stop robbing each other as the ultimate
solution to their problems. His reply contributed nothing to that
debate. kral oyun kanal d oyun
