Suburbs allow families to have yards
yards are peak inefficiency from city planning standpoints (no i'm not joking)

The best part of having a yard is peeing outside.
The second best part of having a yard is having a yard.

I wish I didn't live in LA, I would never choose it, but I am tied here for several reasons.
Like others have said though, everywhere has issues. Flooding, tornadoes, wildfires,snow storms or extreme temps. I'd love to move to AZ, I worked there previously. But the 120F gets old, quick.

1998 for me.
Best decision I ever made.
I miss my family and friends, but when ever I get homesick I make a trip to visit. After a day or two in Baton Rouge I can't wait to head West and GTFO.

Wrong. I lived in Southern New Mexico. Only thing we had to worry about was an occasional dust storm. Nothing that could frick up your house

Wat? How is wanting to live in a neighborhood that has restaurants, bars, coffee shops, retail, grocery stores within walking and biking distance "woke thinking"?
How is pointing out that giant plots on cookie cutter houses with one road out to go to the retail and grocery etc a shitty design "woke thinking"?
In case you missed it, I was using "get woke" as a euphemism for learning about other city planning ideas.
I'll admit my big city bias but I am no lefty or wokescold; a neoliberal sure.

That’s not what you said. What you said was not having this was a drain on society and bad for everyone.

Yea man, having literally anything I need within a 5 mile radius is such a drain on my life
Yea. It terrible being able to walk out of my house and have 2 bars and four restaurants I can walk to within 3 blocks of my house.
I can hop on my bike and get to the trails and ride to downtown in about 20 minutes if I want.
Oh the horror!

California gets very rural very fast when you get outside of the cities. Most of California is nothing like people here imagine it to be.

Didn't the O-T's favorite city, Houston, did skull dragged with flooding not that long ago? And they have made ZERO improvements since then?
And the O-T's second favorite city, Dallas, constantly has to deal with tornadoes, snow, and cops busting in and shooting people on their couch.
The weather is beautiful in California, but then a wildfire shows up at 3 am and burns your house down while you are driving away.

That’s awesome. But when you have a family and little kids you may want to have space with a fenced in yard so you can let them out to play and not have to worry. You’ll also probably want to be around other young families and probably don’t want to be that close to a bar with potentially drunk people wandering around.

Of course studies relating to urban planning are going to promote concepts that make urbanity efficient. That's the problem with this argument as it relates to non-urban areas. Yeah, an urban area that has similar travel-driving requirements as the suburbs is terribly inefficient. I don't think anyone would argue that (especially in a message board so focused on Baton Rouge of all places).
The problem is the study makes lots of urban-primed assumptions, primarily relating to cost and living space. That's always the dividing factor in urban and suburban living. That's why I made the comment about yards. Even your video specifically attacks yards.

Texas is a great place to live but you still have weather-related issues regardless of where you go in the state.
North Texas/panhandle: severe storms and tornadoes, colder winters and a lot more snow.
South Texas: Flooding and hurricanes, or droughts the further south and west you go.
West Texas: droughts and the wind. just. doesn't. stop.
Even where I live in Central Texas, between Austin and San Antonio, we have flooding, tornadoes, droughts, large wildfires, and twice in the 12 years I've lived here we've had summers with 60+ days of triple digits.
The trade off is that I live in a state with no income tax, good roads with 70+ mph speed limits, constitutional carry just passed, the economy is diverse and business is booming.

I juat leased a guest house on the water south of fairhope. Can use the wharf, go fishing, trafic and crime are nothing and i also saved like 3k a year on car insurance minimum and got $300 annual renters insurance package.
It is raised and since I am leasing furnished - I can just pack up and leave in the event of a hurricane

Weather should be pretty low on the list of issues.
I'm happy to be in a place with (in my opinion) better weather than Baton Rouge, but it was just a bonus, not a driving factor.
