Boring in the sense of the built environment. But a lot of people quite frankly don't care about that. Things like street life, architecture, even culture or diversity... a lot of folks don't care about that. And there are people that just do not like people... those do exist. They would rather be in the burbs to avoid the masses in droves. There are some folks that like a quiet areas as well, and there are just those folks that like having a yard.

Now there are plenty of folks that DO care about some of the things I stated, but there's an audience that doesn't quite frankly.

We obviously like cities, hence why we are SSP members and follow developments, but we have to think outside of our niche community and look at the bigger picture, which is reality. These are truths I'm preaching btw. Its just reality.

Now if they want some excitement, in an area that has some of that stuff, they drive there or when applicable, bus or rail.

If people really hated the suburbs, we wouldn't see growth in the burbs or their continued expansion in some cases. There is a demand to sustain these communities. Somewhat why inner-ring suburbs are doing quite well, and adding residents. Just check out the DC suburbs for example or certain counties. Adding residents. Likewise with suburbs in Salt Lake City or Minneapolis or Chicago or even Boston.
