I don't really follow I'm sorry.

Are you suggesting, on the basis of the opinion of one Russian kid who expressed a preference for living where he grew up, that I'm mistaken regarding my own preferences?

Sorry mate that's a little bit nutty.

Well, it's more like this: have you ever lived in a suburb and a commie block? I haven't, but he did, and he explained why he felt that way. I'm not claiming it's scientific or anything

I've lived in all sorts of places in a bunch of different countries, both apartment style living and suburban.

You don't have to take my word for it though. 70% of Australians live in suburbia. Do you honestly think they're mistaken regarding their own lifestyle preferences ?

Billions of flies love shit. Just saying. 😁

But more seriously: if people have been conditioned from early years to desire suburban living, this is what they will desire. I am not judging if it is right or wrong.

I don't think anyone is mistaken in living where they choose, the mistake is in zoning codes forcing the market to only build one choice, one solution to housing.
