re: Why do you prefer small town life ?

The ones that are gated here are really small, like 8 homes. Because "neighborhood" in a city generally means an actual historic part of the city, not something created by SFH developer, obviously.

Not everybody wants to live in a cultureless suburb dude. Most city hoods in the south (and everywhere) price out a lot of people.
Yeah dude, I live in ITP Atlanta
hence my post

What does this even mean? or did you intend to say "monotony"?

And what are the demographics of your hood?

I know. I was joking. Newer places are sometimes gated, but the nicer areas here aren’t. Park cities, M streets, etc aren’t.
Now you can go to Preston hollow where the individual house are gated.

Pretty much the same here. Very small, one street or a circle. Houses on top of each other.

No, I mean, it's solid but typically not great/not awful.

My actual neighborhood is like 95% white with a few minorities (mixed marriages), at least in how it feels. But I can drive 5 minutes and be in a totally different area where those numbers are flipped.

I could go across the street and be in an area of 95% Hispanics. Those little pockets exist all over the metroplex and chances are good there’s a Fiesta grocery store there.

I feel like that is the entire philosophy of the suburbs, really. Trading in the uncertainties (but also some of the advantages) for peace of mind.
Rural is too often a pipe dream in the Southeast. I like the idea but in practice it's just hard to find a good balance in a truly rural area.

Pretty interesting how you choose to live in one that isn’t close to the actual demographics of the city, yet get mad at other people for admitting why they (and other people such as yourself) do this.
Posted on 7/2/18 at 1:17 pm to Pettifogger
Suburbs here are convenience without a uniqueness about them. They’re all very similar without many bad parts of town and stuff. You’re obviously still close to the city and fun stuff, but you’re in a lower crime area with better schools, all kinds of popular chains, etc. There’s a trade off.

A good balance of what exactly? Materialism, consumerism, looking down on people, or insecurity? That stuff is best left in cities.

WBR and Point Coupee say hello. Still have rural areas available but you can get what you need within 20-25 minutes in the car. Not knighting for either place, just saying rural living is still possible.
Of course, your idea of rural may differ from mine. I consider myself as living in a rural area.
But someone from Guthrie, Texas may laugh at that notion.

Should he go live in a low income black or Hispanic neighborhood? A city’s demographics don’t paint the whole picture. Here in Dallas, black people usually have their own pockets throughout the city and Hispanics do too. You can easily live in an area that’s 90% white or black even though the demographics are 50% white and 25% black.

I don't think most rural people are looking for balance
that is what the burbs are for
