I speak for myself and my wife. We moved from Urban California to Rural California for a reason. The urban lifestyle we grew up, and lived in most of our adult lives went to Hell. Drugs, Shootings and other Crimes, Profiteering Leftist Politicians, Offensive neighbors, housing crammed on top of one another. It was a disgusting way to have to have to live. It took years to get the stench of Urban living from our noses.
You seem to assume that we whom live in Suburbia all live in “McMansions”. That’s hardly the case. Most of the folks out in the Suburban areas live in quiet, peaceful retreat in considerably less than a “McMansion”.
We won’t move back to that crap Urban lifestyle because you or any idiot Leftist thinks we in Suburbia are consuming more than you think we should. You go ahead and live in the rat infested Urban lifestyle if you wish, but don’t haughtily condemn those of us whom had the sense to get the Hell out.
You also could move out California. Not all cities are like Los Angeles.
