She likes being near amenities like supermarkets, movie theaters and parks, but when we lived in Hoboken, she absolutely could not stand the cramped urban lifestyle. There are Pacific Northwest cities that offer a good compromise - you can have a house in Portland or Vancouver, be reasonably near the city center but have a backyard and some space. Our neighborhood in St. Louis is like that as well.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if this happens in Australia, but in the US, the suburbs are spreading far beyond their original boundaries, to the point where they're 20 or 30 miles away from their city. Which brings up a good question: When does a suburb cease being a "suburb?" Places like Irvine, CA or Princeton, NJ have developed their own local economies over the years, to the extent that they're much less "sub" to any urban area. I'd definitely like to see more community and culture in such areas - I'm far beyond thinking the city is the ultimate in living, but that's still where the bands play and the cool bookstores usually are...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095502990847762778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12114421.post-7016694303311495042007-02-11T01:10:00.000+11:002007-02-11T01:10:00.000+11:00Architecture - what's it good for?
