Expand You brought up Brownstones, built up through the 1940s, and implied I felt they were somehow...scary. If you're talking about developers throwing up a couple 2-3 story brownstone-type apartments with a Starbucks nearby, that's great for some people. I assumed you were speaking on a larger scale, as in, reimagined city planning for the masses. My bad. Jeesh, I had to admit I was trolling Andy1 and now I find you don't want stacked living for the masses, and probably don't even like asbestos. Worst. Day. Ever. 1

But the ability to spread out in low density subdivisions and have some space and privacy between you and your neighbors was the compelling reason for the migration. Urbanizing suburbia is counter to its entire purpose. I'd describe it as a living arrangement having attributes of both country and urban living but without the advantages of neither.

Expand You’re actually spot on with this. Early suburban development emerged in the 1920s. Planners like Olmsted and Wright tried to capture a pastoral ideal and designed new developments to resemble the countryside. But my take is that it is eventually going to be undesirable. We’re already seeing it as shopping malls are transformed to “lifestyle centers” with shopping AND residential, like little facsimiles of traditional cities. I anticipate people will eventually seek denser developments. 1
B-Man Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 Good thing that this 'apartment' story was just an overblown right wing fear. Tren de Aragua has already set up shop in these 16 states, Homeland Security warns by Jennie Taer The vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has expanded its territory to at least 16 US states — an area that includes half of America’s population, The Post has learned. Homeland Security officials last week were warned in an internal department intelligence memo about TdA’s growing presence across the country, most recently in Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming. The gang already has footholds in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, according to the memo and previous reporting by The Post. https://nypost.com/2024/11/19/us-news/tren-de-aragua-has-already-set-up-shop-in-these-16-states-homeland-security-warns/ .
