Gotta have density if you want mass transit tho!

I'm also not talking about genuinely rural areas which are quite nice. I'm talking about areas with all the downsides of urban life with absolutely none of the benefits because everything is engineered to be a 3 mile trip in a car by yourself.
E pluribus unum. I miss having my coffee on the deck with osprey, and seeing galaxies far away. I miss coyote and bear. I miss the quiet. I miss walking out the door into the woods. I miss riding my bike to the lake. I love where I live now as I did then.

Bad news is you pay six figures for anything--attached or not.
But there are plenty of ways to make small lot detached SFH homes work within a walkable environment. In fact, most of America used to be like this!

I understand that America has made normal cities illegal and only the top 10% of earners can afford to live in a pre-WWII legacy built environment. So I understand people having to settle because they can't afford it. But I cannot understand someone being enthusiastic about moving to such a place.

Whenever I'm forced to spend time in suburban sprawl, I simply cannot believe that there are actually people who enjoy living like that. Like somebody wakes up in the morning psyched to navigate his car down an 8 lane road to the same 15 chain stores on repeat surrounded by a barren sea of asphalt.

I just ate some tacos while looking at a parking lot like a maniac for 20 minutes, then got a coffee and stared at the mountains for another 20. My eyes were so happy not to be staring at a screen.

Had to get my phone repaired and the hour I was without it felt like when I quit smoking cigarettes. Probably not a great thing.
