Why i finally moved out of the city !!

[Marquis]

kids walk to school all the time out here with no problem.

Congratulations?

City living and suburban living are inherently different in a myriad of ways. And kids who grow up in the two different environments have completely different experiences. Arguing over who can and cannot walk to school is ridiculous. I grew up in the suburbs and walked to school, but I didn't walk anywhere else. I didn't know how to navigate my way on public transportation, or get to my music lessons, or attend any event without someone's parent providing shuttle service. On the other hand, I could ride my bike down the street without significant fear of getting run over and could spend all afternoon catch frogs in a nearby pond. Ellery's experience has been the opposite; at 13, she can get herself to and from Manhattan but her bike-riding abilities are sorely lacking.

Personally, I think growing up in the city is better. But it is a preference, not an absolute. If I didn't feel that way, I'd be living in the 'burbs. And I can only assume that people in the 'burbs feel the same way about their choice -- they think life in the 'burbs is better so that's why they live there.

Actually, I live in the burbs because that's where my job is. There are lots of reasons that people choose to live somewhere.

[Marquis]

I think the point is that nothing bad happens in the burbs, which is why people prefer to live there. Also, blacks.

The point of this thread.

[Gio7707]

I can't understand the hatred on here for the suburbs. Is it an inferiority complex of the city dwellers? I've lived in the city all my life and never felt the need to put down the suburbs

Jealousy.....

[Eastcoast]

Jealousy.....

Wait!

Why did you move?

[hkp]

Jealousy.....

And for the people who have to make threads about moving out of the city because of <insert negative aspect>...

I really wish you floated away on May 21st. For the good of the site, of course.

[Gio7707]

Wait!

Why did you move?

In case you forgot :

Violent night with 10 shootings that included sleeping woman - Philly.com

[FKD19124]

why, thank you!

Congratulations?

[FKD19124]

you first! Actualy I woul prefer to move down to the jersey shore like north wildwood, the crest or cape may despite the hurricanes.

Go buy some land in Montana and move there. Erect solar panels you bought from China so you can live off-grid. Sell tchotchkes on etsy to eek out a living so you don't have to interact with governments or people, and insist on being paid via PayPal and skirt sales taxes.

There, solved it for you.

$26.00 a year is a far cry from being taxed per pay period for services you don't or hardly use.

1) The taxes that your company and the owner of the property that you work in should be paying for the sewers, not your wage tax.
2) Tons of burbs have a minimal (example: flat $26/year) or no tax for working there.
3) Why are people picky about bathrooms. By definition, it's a crappy place.

So how were you connected with these shootings?

Did you move out right after this violent night?

I want to know what event pushed you over the top...at some point you were sitting in the kitchen, enjoying a cup of Folgers and pulling on a Virginia Slim (you've come a long way baby!) and ruminating about the wreckage that your life had become when you decided that Philadelphia was to blame. Especially since the events of yesterday when XXXXXX XXXXX had said XXXXX XXXXX and then she wanted to XXXXXX XXXX to your XXXXXXX!!! "Well that's it, Philly won't have me to kick around anymore"!

*****Disclaimer: While I think this is exactly what happened I'll need Gio to confirm that it was Folgers and not Nescafe.

I had to pay Whitemarsh taxes when I worked in Blue Bell even though I lived in Philadelphia. For the same reason. Work somewhere else if you don't like it.

I honestly can't remember the last time we had looting in the city of Philadelphia, if it has ever occurred in my lifetime. Why are you bringing Queens into this? Or you just opposed to cities in general? I guess when you go to Europe you go to the suburbs of Paris and Rome then? When you hit the West Coast you hang out in San Luis Obispo or San Juan Capistrano or Bellevue, Washington and stay away from those big, bad cities?
