I wouldn't want to live anywhere in North Dakota, no offense.

What I find amusing is that you believe I live in a neighborhood very similar to that one.

67% McCain?  Horrible.  I'd much rather live in 80% Obama.

I don't believe I ever said that. You do live in a suburban environment though.

This is clearly suburban. So if I live in a suburban area, I live in a similar area.

How about 89% Obama like where I live?

Gee, that's such a ghetto hellhole. Roll Eyes

Yeah, or any of the states that border North Dakota, or any of the states that border states that border North Dakota.

The state I live in bordering North Dakota is great. So is Iowa. And Wisconsin is OK.

HAHA and so it still continues.  Unsurprisingly the brick wall learns nothing.  All suburbs are the same after all!

Dude.  Most of America doesn't live in houses like San Francisco with that silly housing design, you're going to end up in a place someday where the houses don't share walls or where you live in an apartment that doesn't share walls with the next apartment building over.

OK. I have never been to a suburban area I would like to live in. How's that?

That doesn't make every other suburban setting the exact same as those you have been to, as has been more than adequately demonstrated by several people now on numerous occasions.  And that's not even considering that you still haven't developed understanding that there are different definitions of suburban, as evidenced by you assuming that by suburban someone automatically assumes that precise type you've been to in North Dakota.  Also ignoring that North Dakota is obviously far from representative of the United States as a whole.

On another note, have you ever left the Midwest?

I'm surprised a Libertarian would ever want to live in San Francisco and doesn't consider it a big government hellhole.

     Public policy has very little to do with my choice of habitation. Otherwise I would be on the next plane to Switzerland.

So you are a fan of banning minarets and ObamaCare? (As ObamaCare is very similar to the Swiss Health Care System)

     You know, I just realized that Switzerland was a country I once had a positive opinion of for reasons that are really quite silly. Point is, I don't really care about the politics of the area where I live.

Switzerland has a good number of internal microcosms from wealthy quasi-latte liberal areas in the Vaud and Geneva, to redneck ass-backwards Schwyz and the original cantons, wealthy libertarian areas in Zurich, working-class socialist strongholds in the Jura and Neuchatel. It would be incredibly stupid to say that Switzerland as an entire nation favours a ban on minarets or supports their healthcare system.

That's absurd.  That's like claiming that Switzerland speaks more than one language!

Putting aside where it is (no thank you), arborists seems rather thin on the ground on the block depicted. I have trouble even seeing small trees, assuming the neighborhood were just built. It does look truly hideous from an aesthetic standpoint.

I hadn't caught that, but yeah, that's a big deal.  You'd expect North Dakota to be able to beat Alphabet City, not the nicest of areas, in trees, but that neighborhood completely fails.

[too lazy to figure out the URL for street view, just drag the little yellow guy over there somewhere near where I live, that's the closest intersection]


I grew up in a forest, so I'm a little, um, desensitized to trees.  I view deer as nothing more than big rabbits that will destroy anything you try to grow without a 10ft fence and completely f*(# up your car if you hit a big buck.   But SOME trees are pretty important to aesthetics.
