Agree or Disagree: Day 12: Suburbs are awesome

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Hell no.

Hell no.

Would you rather live in Detroit or Ann Arbor?

Neither one is a suburb so the question isn't very relevant.

Ann Arbor actually is.

Detroit isn't even the closest city with a >200k population to Ann Arbor. Toledo is. It's no more a suburb of either than Milwaukee is a suburb of Chicago, or St. Cloud is a suburb of my city.

You would not live in Detroit in a zillion years BRTD. Nor some other down and out towns.

Why not? Over 90k whites do.

BTW why did Alcon do a complete 180 from his typical arguments with me on the issue?

I lived in Ann Arbor BRTD. It is more of a suburb now, than then. If you have to live in the Detroit metro area, and have a family, where would you live?  That kind of answers the question no?

Well Ann Arbor isn't a choice as it's not in the Detroit metro. I'd go with a white, relatively affluent part of Detroit. I'm sure Detroit has neighborhoods with a higher median income than the one I currently live in, and certainly ones higher than the ones surrounding me (I basically live in a white enclave surrounded by the river and the ghetto.)

I note though you had to include the "have a family" part. That says a lot.

It is totally part of the Detroit metro. Stop being so stubborn! And even more now, since "nobody" works in Detroit proper anymore.

How can it be part of the Detroit metro being further away from Detroit than Toledo?

Where are all the strip clubs in the Detroit metro located? Better yet where's the place in it closest to the awesome Canadian strip clubs across the border?

I never much liked the suburbs, BRTD, and I was itching to move for years.  I just argued that other people can have different personal preferences than you, and you have no right to force your own aesthetic/lifestyle preferences on someone else unless they're unduly harming you or someone else.

Also, I think that lots of the reasons why you prefer the city are lame.  But I'm all about allowing for subjective preference, 'cause that's one of the awesome things about being alive.  And I'm not a fascist.

Plus, you're so fun to disagree with

That wasn't really the focus of your counter-arguments though.
